Abstract:
A terminal assembly for connecting a core member of a remote control cable assembly to a transmission pin comprising, in combination:a terminal having a housing forming a main passage and a rod rigidly secured to the housing for connection to the core member; an isolator secured to the housing within the main passage and having a deflectable inner wall at least partially forming a pin passage for receiving the transmission pin; wherein the pin passage has a central longitudinal axis; an adjuster movable between an installed position wherein the adjuster prevents outward deflection of the inner wall away from the pin passage and an uninstalled position wherein the inner wall is free to outwardly deflect away from the pin passage; wherein the isolator is formed of a vibration isolating material and the vibration isolating material is flexible relative to a rigid material forming the adjustor; wherein the isolator has an outer wall spaced apart from the inner wall to form an annularly-shaped recess coaxial with the pin passage and adapted to receive at least a portion of the adjuster therein when the adjuster is in the installed position; wherein the adjuster is generally tubularly-shaped and coaxial with the recess such that the adjuster is at least partially received in the recess when the adjuster is in the installed position; and wherein the adjuster axially moves along the central longitudinal axis between the uninstalled position and the installed position.
