Abstract:
1. A connector for an electrical cable having a core surrounded by a single layer of conductor strands comprising: a connector insert having an axial bore dimensioned to receive the core of the cable; a connector body having an opening at a proximal end thereof and a substantially cylindrical outer surface, the opening communicating with a cavity having a distal portion dimensioned to receive the connector insert, said distal portion having a first inner surface with a first inside diameter, said cavity further having a second portion proximally displaced from the distal portion having a second inner surface with a second inside diameter dimensioned to receive all strands of said single layer of conductor strands, wherein the second inside diameter is greater than the first inside diameter, said cavity further having a third portion proximally adjacent to the second portion, said third portion having a third inner surface with a third inside diameter dimensioned to receive all strands of said single layer of conductor strands, wherein the third inside diameter is greater than the second inside diameter; wherein the ratio of the third inside diameter to the second inside diameter is such that, with all of the conductor strands disposed within the second portion of the conductor body and with all of the conductor strands also disposed within the third portion of the connector body, swaging compression applied to the cylindrical outer surface of the connector body secures the connector body to the conductor strands in both the second and third portions.
