Abstract
An electrical terminal for terminating magnet wire. The terminal includes a mating portion and a wire barrel positioned in line with the mating portion. The wire barrel has a first asymmetrical termination section and a second asymmetrical termination section, with the first termination section provided in line with the second termination section. The first termination section is positioned closer to the mating portion. The first and second termination sections have first side walls, second side walls and base walls. The first side walls, the second side wall and the base walls have a plurality of serrations.

An electrical terminal for terminating magnet wire, the terminal comprising:
- a mating portion and a wire barrel positioned in line with the mating portion;
- the wire barrel having a first asymmetrical termination section and a second asymmetrical termination section, the first termination section provided in line with the second termination section, the first termination section being positioned closer to the mating portion;
- the first termination section having a first termination section first side wall, a first termination section second side wall and a first termination section base, the first termination section first side wall, the first termination section second side wall and the first termination section base having a plurality of first termination section serrations, the first termination section first side wall configured to engage conductors of the magnet wire, the first termination section second side wall configured to engage and apply pressure to the first termination section first side wall;
- the second termination section having a second termination section first side wall, a second termination section second side wall and a second termination section base, the second termination section first side wall, the second termination section second side wall and the second termination section base having a plurality of second termination section serrations, the second termination section first side wall configured to engage the conductors of the magnet wire, the second termination section second side wall configured to engage and apply pressure to the second termination section first side wall;
- wherein the first termination section serrations and the second termination section serrations deform the conductors forming a mechanical and electrical connection between the first termination section, the second termination section and the conductors of the magnet wire.
