Under the invention, a new electrical terminal assembly is provided. In
one embodiment, the electrical terminal assembly comprises an electrical
terminal made of an electrically conductive material and having a cavity
to receive a wire assembly, and a wire assembly, comprising an
electrically conductive wire and insulation surrounding the wire such
that a portion of the wire assembly is insulated and a portion of the
wire assembly is uninsulated. The wire assembly extends into the cavity
of the electrical terminal such that the uninsulated portion of the wire
assembly comes into contact with the electrical terminal. The electrical
terminal is crimped at a first location around the insulated portion of
the wire assembly which inhibits fluid from entering the portion of the
cavity housing the uninsulated portion of the wire assembly.
