Abstract

An electrical terminal (11) for flat cable (23, 24, 25) comprising first and second metal plate (12 12 min ) portions having a cable penetrating tab-like lance (15 or 15 min ) with parallel opposite edge portions and a socket (16 or 16 min ) aligned with the lance (15 or 15 min ), respectively, the socket (16 or 16 min ) having lips (19) pushed out of the plane of the plate portion (12 min ) and converging towards their free ends to define a slot-form lance receiving mouth (21). During termination, the cable (23, 24, 25) will be penetrated by the lance (15 or 15 min ) and a portion (27) of the cable conductor (23) will be drawn into the mouth (21) by the lance (15 or 15 min ) and compressed between and in direct contact with a face of the lance and one lip (19). A portion of the cable (23, 24, 25) is deformed during termination, into an aperture (17 or 17 min ) provided in the first metal plate (12) during formation of the lance and ribbon conductor material is displaced from between the face of the lance (15 or 15 min ) and one lip (19) further into the socket (16 or 16 min ).
