Multiple conductor cable connector
Abstract
Abstract A TERMINAL CONNECTOR FOR A MULTIPLE CONDUCTOR ELECTRICAL CABLE IS PROVIDED WHICH MAY READILY BE APPLIED TO THE CABLE BY THE USER RATHER THAN BEING INTEGRALLY MOLDED TO THE CABLE BY A CONNECTOR MANUFACTURER. UNION OF LEADS TO CONTACTS IS MADE, SUCH CONTACTS BEING WITHIN A CONTACT HOLDER, AND THE CONTACT HOLDER IS THEN BODILY INCORPORATED INTO AN INSULATING SLEEVE OF RESILIENT MATERIAL. DESPITE THE RESILIENCY OF THE MATERIAL OF THE SLEEVE, ONCE THE CONTACT HOLDER AND SLEEVE ARE INTEGRATED, SEPARATION IS PREVENTED BY PROVIDING A RIB IN ONE WHICH EXTENDS INTO A GROOVE IN THE OTHER, AND DISPOSING A CLOSE FITTING RIGID JACKET ABOUT THE SLEEVE SO THAT FLEXIBILITY OF THE RESILIENT SLEEVE IS DIMINISHED. RETENTION OF CABLE WITHIN SLEEVE BY MEANS OF A PARTIAL RING, AND OF A FEMALE CONTACT WHICH SPRING LOADS AN ENTERING MALE CONTACT, ARE BOTH ALSO CONTEMPLATED.
