Abstract:
1. An electrical connector for use with providing an electrical termination to an end of a cable having a conductor helically disposed between a core and a layer overlying the core, the connector comprising: a cylindrical first portion having a first opening at one end of the first portion, the first opening being sized greater than the diameter of the layer, a second opening at an opposite end of the first portion, the second opening being sized greater than a diameter of the core and the helically disposed conductor but less than a diameter of the layer; a cylindrical second portion having an opening sized greater than a diameter of the core and the helically disposed conductor; wherein as a result of the end of the cable being inserted through the first opening of the first portion and through the second opening of the first portion, the layer is prevented from extending through the second opening thereby allowing the core and the helically disposed conductor to be exposed and positioned in the opening of the second portion without the need to cut and strip the layer from the helically disposed conductor.
