Abstract:
An electrical terminal and method for electrically and mechanically terminating to an electrical conductor. A plurality of first recesses is positioned in a termination section, with a plurality of first ridges provided proximate the first recesses. A plurality of second recesses is positioned in the termination section. A plurality of second ridges is provided proximate the second recesses, with the second ridges extending in a direction which is parallel to the plurality of second recesses. A plurality of serrations is formed between the plurality of first recesses and the plurality of second recesses. The plurality of serrations has sharp burrs which interact with the electrical conductor to remove oxides on the electrical conductor to establish mechanical and electrical contact areas between the burrs and the electrical conductor.

Claim (Index 1):
An electrical terminal for electrically and mechanically terminating to an electrical conductor, the electrical terminal comprising:\n an electrical conductor termination section; a plurality of first recesses positioned in the termination section, a plurality of first ridges provided proximate the first recesses, the first ridges extending in a direction which is parallel to the plurality of first recesses, the plurality of first ridges have sharp-edges, the height or sharpness of which increases in a gradient shape from one side of the electrical conductor termination section to the other side of the electrical conductor termination section; a plurality of second recesses positioned in the termination section, the plurality of second recesses extending in a direction which is not parallel to the plurality of first recesses, a plurality of second ridges provided proximate the second recesses, the second ridges extending in a direction which is parallel to the plurality of second recesses; the plurality of first recesses has a first depth and the plurality of second recesses has a second depth, the first depth being greater than the second depth; a plurality of serrations formed between the plurality of first recesses and the plurality of second recesses, the plurality of serrations having sharp burrs which interact with the electrical conductor to remove oxides on the electrical conductor to establish mechanical and electrical contact areas between the burrs and the electrical conductor.
