Abstract
An electrical crimp terminal for connection with a conductor of an electrical cable has an insulation surrounding the conductor. The electrical crimp terminal comprises a conductor connection portion, wherein the conductor connection portion comprises conductor crimp wings for being crimped onto the conductor of the electrical cable. Each of the conductor crimp wings in the non-crimped state has at least one progressive portion having a progressively increasing height in a longitudinal direction to a tip of the conductor to be crimped, wherein the progressive portion extends along the complete length of each conductor crimp wing.

An electrical crimp terminal for connection with a conductor of an electrical cable having an insulation surrounding the conductor, the electrical crimp terminal comprising a conductor connection portion, wherein the conductor connection portion comprises conductor crimp wings for being crimped onto the conductor of the electrical cable;
- wherein each of the conductor crimp wings in the non-crimped state has at least one progressive portion having a progressively increasing height in a longitudinal direction to a tip of the conductor to be crimped, wherein the at least one progressive portion tapers along a complete length of each conductor crimp wing relative to the longitudinal direction.
An electrical crimp terminal for connection with a conductor of an electrical cable having an insulation surrounding the conductor, the electrical crimp terminal comprising a conductor connection portion, wherein the conductor connection portion comprises conductor crimp wings for being crimped onto the conductor of the electrical cable;
- wherein each of the conductor crimp wings in the non-crimped state has at least one progressive portion having a progressively increasing height in a longitudinal direction to a tip of the conductor to be crimped, wherein the at least one progressive portion extends along a complete length of each conductor crimp wing, wherein the conductor crimp wings, in the non-crimped state, at the progressive portion comprise an upper edge that is slanted by an angle, wherein the angle ranges from 2° to 30°.
An electrical crimp terminal for connection with a conductor of an electrical cable having an insulation surrounding the conductor, the electrical crimp terminal comprising a conductor connection portion, wherein the conductor connection portion comprises conductor crimp wings for being crimped onto the conductor of the electrical cable;
- wherein each of the conductor crimp wings in the non-crimped state has at least one progressive portion having a progressively increasing height in a longitudinal direction to a tip of the conductor to be crimped, wherein the at least one progressive portion extends along a complete length of each conductor crimp wing, wherein a transition between an upper edge and at least one of a front side edge and a rear side edge of the crimp wings is rounded, wherein the transition between the upper edge and the at least one of the rear side edge and the front side edge of the crimp wings is rounded by a radius respectively, that ranges from 3% to 20%, of the length of the conductor crimp wings.
