Bob,

I'm guessing it's to ensure that you have sufficient contact/overlap.
There's no wrap required like other terminal types, so having the wire extend from the slot would provide maximum contact.

All:

Does anyone know  why the requirement for slotted terminals is that the wire extends all of the way to the end of the slot or beyond (compare this to a jumper wire on an SMT pad).

For inspection I can see why we would want to see the end of the wire but is there another reason?

Regards
