Abstract:
1. An isodiameter electrical connector terminal comprising a plurality of connecting wires extending longitudinally inside a tubular sheath made out of a flexible insulating material, said terminal having a surface and a free extremity, and comprising on said surface a plurality of annular contacts distributed axially and separated by insulating areas, and comprising at said free extremity an axial contact, said connector terminal characterized in that it further comprises: an axial stacking of alternatively conducting and insulating elementary cylindrical parts sharing a same single diameter and comprising central cavities extending axially throughout the parts for receiving therein said tubular sheath, each conducting elementary part being electrically connected to a respective connecting wire to form said annular contacts of the terminal; wherein at least one of the conducting elementary parts further comprises an opening access extending radially between the central cavity and the external environment to give access to the respective connecting wire located in the tubular sheath; wherein a conducting material bridge is formed in said opening access to electrically connect the conducting elementary part to the respective connecting wire; an axial pin placed at the free extremity and connected to a respective connecting wire to form said axial contact of the terminal; and means for axial and angular alignment of the elementary parts of the stacking.
