Finger-proof electrical terminal

A method for manufacturing an electrical terminal comprising:

• fabricating a first terminal cap couplable to a first side of a busbar, wherein the first terminal cap includes a first cap cylindrical wall that defines a first cap cylindrical bore;
• fabricating a second terminal cap couplable to a second side of the busbar opposite the first side, wherein the second terminal cap defines an opening that is sized to be finger proof;
• connecting the first terminal cap to the second terminal cap;
• disposing a blind-hole nut in the second terminal cap, wherein (i) the blind-hole nut has a flange and an electrically nonconductive tip opposite the flange and (ii) the electrically nonconductive tip and the first cap cylindrical wall are arranged to be finger proof;
• fabricating a socket couplable to a device, wherein (i) the socket includes a first socket cylindrical wall that defines a first socket cylindrical bore, and (ii) the first socket cylindrical wall is sized to receive the first cap cylindrical wall;
• disposing a first terminal barrel in the first socket cylindrical bore and positioned to electrically engage the busbar;
• and
• disposing a threaded stud in the first socket cylindrical bore, wherein the threaded stud is operational to engage the blind-hole nut.

A vehicle comprising:

• a device;
• a busbar;
• a first terminal cap coupled to a first side of the busbar, wherein the first terminal cap includes a first cap cylindrical wall that defines a first cap cylindrical bore;
• a second terminal cap coupled to a second side of the busbar opposite the first side and connected to the first terminal cap, wherein the second terminal cap defines an opening that is sized to be finger proof;
• a blind-hole nut disposed in the second terminal cap, wherein (i) the blind-hole nut has a flange and an electrically nonconductive tip opposite the flange and (ii) the electrically nonconductive tip and the first cap cylindrical wall are arranged to be finger proof;
• a socket coupled to the device, wherein (i) the socket includes a first socket cylindrical wall that defines a first socket cylindrical bore, and (ii) the first socket cylindrical wall is sized to receive the first cap cylindrical wall;
• a first terminal barrel dispose in the first socket cylindrical bore and positioned to electrically engage the busbar;
• and
• a threaded stud disposed in the first socket cylindrical bore, wherein the threaded stud is operational to engage the blind-hole nut.
