A terminal disposed on a carrier strip, said terminal comprising:
- a contact portion;
- and
- a generally round barrel portion attached to said carrier strip, said barrel portion having a generally squared shoulder where said barrel portion meets said carrier strip, said squared shoulder facilitating cutting said terminal completely from said carrier strip.
A carrier strip integrally connecting and including a plurality of terminals, each of said plurality of terminals comprising a contact portion and a generally round barrel portion attached to said carrier strip, said barrel portion having a generally squared shoulder where said barrel portion meets said carrier strip, said squared shoulder facilitating the complete removal of said terminals from said carrier strip.
A terminal disposed on a carrier strip, said terminal comprising:
- a contact portion;
- and
- a generally round barrel portion attached to said carrier strip, said barrel portion having a cutting facilitation portion for facilitating the complete cutting of said terminal from said carrier strip, said cutting facilitation portion comprising two approximately parallel planar surfaces disposed along opposite sides of said generally round barrel portion, said two planar surfaces being adapted to simultaneously guide two cutting blades along said two planar surfaces to effect complete cutting of said terminal from said carrier strip.
