Electrical terminal for terminating a wire

An electrical terminal for terminating a wire having at least one exposed conductor and an electrical insulation layer, the electrical terminal comprising:

• an electrical contact;
• and
• a crimp barrel extending from the electrical contact, the crimp barrel comprising a portion configured to be crimped around the at least one exposed conductor, wherein when crimped, the portion substantially encases the at least one exposed conductor.

An electrical terminal for terminating a wire having at least one exposed conductor and an electrical insulation layer, the electrical terminal comprising:

• an electrical contact;
• and
• a crimp barrel extending from the electrical contact, the crimp barrel comprising a first portion configured to be crimped around the electrical insulation layer, and a second portion that defines a continuous enclosure that extends entirely around the wire from the electrical insulation layer of the wire and past an end surface of the at least one conductor.

An electrical terminal for terminating a wire, the electrical terminal comprising:

• an electrical contact;
• and □
• a crimp barrel extending from the electrical contact, the crimp barrel comprising a first portion configured to be crimped around the electrical insulation layer, and a second portion configured to be crimped around the at least one exposed conductor, wherein the second portion defines an embossment that extends outwardly from an interior surface of the second portion, wherein the embossment includes a first segment that is configured to engage a second segment of the embossment when the second portion is crimped.
