Electrical terminal for terminating at least two wires therein

Abstract

An electrical terminal 1 is provided that is formed by being stamped and bent from a metal plate. This terminal is equipped with a pair of opposing first electrical wire accommodating slots 4 that are respectively formed in a pair of opposing first plate parts 3a and 3b, and a pair of opposing second electrical wire accommodating slots 8 that are respectively formed in opposing second plate parts 7. The pair of second plate parts 7 are formed by a pair of plate parts that are bent from both side edges of a flat plate part 12 that extends from one of the first plate parts 3a, with these plate parts being bent substantially at right angles relative to the flat plate part 12, so that the pair of second electrical wire accommodating slots 8 formed in the second plate parts 7 and the pair of first electrical wire accommodating slots 4 formed in the first plate parts 3a and 3b are arranged substantially at right angles.
