Abstract:
An electrical connection cable manufacturing comprising the following steps:(a) providing a first insulator having a first face and a second face opposite the first face, a plurality of channels being defined between the first and second faces;(b) providing a plurality of conductive pins, each comprising an anchoring section from which a terminal section and a tail section extend in opposite directions, the tail section forming an angular cross-section with one side having a sharpened edge;(c) inserting the conductive pins into the corresponding channels of the first insulator whereby the terminal section extends beyond the second face and the tail section extends beyond the first face thereof;(d) providing a second insulator having a first face and a second face opposite the first face, a plurality of channels being defined between the first and second faces, each of channels having a first slot communicating therewith;(e) inserting a leading end of a wire into each of the channels of the second insulator; andmating the first face of the first insulator with the second face of the second insulator with the second face of the second insulator wherein the tail sections of the conductive pins are received in the first slots of the channels of the second insulator and the sharpened edges of the conductive pins cut through an insulative sheath of the corresponding wire along a longitudinal direction of the wire to electrically engage a conductive core thereof;(f) cutting off a portion of the leading of the wire extending beyond the second face of the second insulator; and whereinthe tail section of each conductive pin comprises an inclined side on which the sharpened edge is formed and whereinthe reinforcement plate extending from the tail section of each conductive pin, the reinforcement plate being substantially normal to the tail section, and wherein the second slots are defined in the first and second insulators in communication with the corresponding channels for receiving the reinforcement plates, said second slots respectively extending through the first and second faces of the first insulator and the first and second faces of the second insulator.
