Abstract:
A multipole connector for connecting a multicore--conductor cable, comprising:a cable receptacle and a connection piece and stranded conductors in said cable receptacle;axially parallel channels in said cable receptacle for retaining said stranded conductors;contact spikes of the connection piece for axial contact with free ends of said stranded conductors, said contact spikes being inserted in said axially parallel channels in said cable receptacle, wherein said contact spikes have a penetration length in said channels and in said conductors;a terminal mounting at least in part surrounding said channels and facing said connection piece; andwherein said terminal mounting at least over the penetration length of the contact spikes into the channels and conductors, is elastic in a radial direction in order to generate, by squeezing, essentially even radial pressure around the inserted contact spikes at the circumference of said terminal mounting, for reliable contact in all channels between the contact spikes and conductors.
