Abstract:
1. A combination of a plurality of sheathed cables and a connection cap, wherein the cables have a jointing portion for their core wires, the jointing portion having an electrically conductive sleeve for crimping the core wires, the connection cap comprising: a rear end wall positioned at a rear end of the connection cap for confining a sealing uncured resin, an opening positioned at a forward end of the connection cap for inserting the jointing portion, a cylindrical wall extending from the opening to the rear end wall, and a plurality of ribs circumferentially uniformly disposed in an inner surface of the cylindrical wall for positioning the sleeve in the connection cap, the ribs extended parallel to an axial direction of the connection cap with a clearance therebetween, the cylindrical wall having an inner surface formed with a shoulder abutting against an end of the sleeve to axially position the sleeve in the connection cap, wherein the ribs provide an inscribed circle having a diameter substantially the same as or slightly smaller than an outer diameter of the sleeve, and the clearance between the ribs permits the sealing uncured resin to pass therethrough, the resin fixing the sleeve with the connection cap after the resin is cured in the clearance.
