Abstract:
1. A fitting adapted for connecting one end of a cable having an electrically conductive portion exposed at said one end thereof to another electrically conductive member, said fitting comprising: an adapter having a hollow generally cylindrical body which is open at least at one end, an internally threaded wall portion in said body dimensioned to receive and threadedly engage said electrically conductive portion; a connecter body including a connecter sleeve into which said adapter is inserted; and a cylindrical crimping member having at least one inner tapered annular surface portion extending from a leading end dimensioned to receive said connecter sleeve, said inner tapered annular surface portion disposed in close-fitting engagement with said external wall of said connecter sleeve whereupon axial advancement of said crimping member along said sleeve will impart inward radial deformation to said adapter into tight-fitting engagement with said end of said wire.
