Electrical terminal for flat flexible cables

A cable assembly including:

• a flat flexible cable including a plurality of conductors embedded within an insulation material, at least a top surface and a bottom surface of a portion of each of the conductors are exposed via a common first opening selectively formed in the insulation material, the first opening closed continuously about its perimeter by the insulation material;
• and
• a plurality of electrically conductive terminals, each of the terminals having a crimping portion at least partially received through the common first opening in the insulation material and receiving the exposed portion of a respective conductor, the crimping portion including:
• a base extending in a longitudinal direction of the terminal and defining a protrusion extending therefrom;
• and
• a first sidewall extending from the base, the base and the first sidewall defining an opening receiving the exposed portion of the conductor, in a crimped state of the terminal, the first sidewall is folded into the opening for crimping the conductor within the opening and against the protrusion.
