Claim:
1. A cable lug in combination with a functional part, comprising: the cable lug having a tubular receiving portion for a cable, an integrally formed flat part connecting portion connected to the tubular receiving portion, the flat part connecting portion having a hole therethrough defined by a wall, the hole defining a central axis, the wall including a cylindrical wall portion and a holding material portion extending inwardly from the cylindrical wall portion toward the central axis; and the functional part comprising a body which defines a centerline, a first bearing surface on a base of the body, a displacer unitary with the body located directly below the first bearing surface, the displacer having a first outer surface extending from the first bearing surface, the first outer surface being inwardly tapered along at least a portion of its outside surface relative to the centerline at an angle of any one of 20 to 50 degrees and having an outside diameter less than an outside diameter of the first bearing surface, a shank unitary with the body and extending from the displacer, the displacer having a second surface proximate to the shank, the second surface extending between the shank and the first outer surface, the second surface continuously encircles the body and is angled at a constant angle relative to the centerline of the body, wherein the second surface of the displacer and a surface of the shank form an undercut; and wherein the holding material portion is in the undercut and an axial clearance is provided between the holding material portion and the surfaces which forms the undercut such that the functional part is held captively and rotatably on the flat part connecting portion and the functional part does not pass through the flat part connecting portion.
