A termination element for electrical connectors and method for making the same. The elements have a wire receiving portion defined by spaced-apart sides in which opposing jaws are formed. The jaws are cut and formed from the sidewalls to present a uniform angular lead-in for the wire being inserted and are spaced and coined to facilitate compression and deformation of the wire upon insertion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The invention comprises an electrical termination system in which the wire receiving portion is defined by spaced apart sides for receiving a wire between them and at least one pair of formed-in jaws in the sides.
The jaws are formed opposite each other presenting a narrowed space between them.
The formed-in jaws are integral with the sides at each of their lateral extremities.
In a further aspect, a lead-in portion is provided by notching the sides at the jaws establishing an angle to the upper edge of the jaws to aid in locating the wire and directing it into the jaws.
In the area which contacts the wire, the lead-in edge desirably has a transition portion which comprises a coined edge in order to present to an entering wire a smoothly angled embossing surface.
In addition, the jaws may be freed at their lower ends.
