A cable termination assembly according to the invention includes a cable with signal and ground isolation conductors, insulation for insulating said electrical conductors, an intermediate conductor portion of each conductor being exposed and deformed between adjacent portions of the insulation, contacts for electrically connecting respective signal conductors to an external device, the contacts being electrically connected directly to the exposed deformed intermediate conductor portions to form a junction therewith, and a body enclosing the junctions and intermediate conductor portions and securing the same in relative position while leaving part of the contacts exposed for electrically connecting with such external device. The ground conductors are in abutment for common connection thereof beyond the end of the insulation, and a secure pull tab is provided for withdrawing the assembly from a connection. The invention also relates to a method for making such assemblies.

Molded electrical connector

A molded cable termination assembly for terminating a woven cable, which has a fabric-like woven insulation about the conductors thereof, includes in one embodiment a pair of clamping pads tightly clamped against the woven cable during injection molding of a housing base directly to the cable to prevent wicking of the molding material along the cable exteriorly of the mold. In another embodiment, a lip seal arrangement securely grips the woven cable in response to the pressure exerted during the injection molding process to prevent such undesirable wicking. The latter embodiment also is effective to provide strain relief holding of the cable in the molded housing base and, therefore, enables molding a cable termination direction to non-bondable, non-wettable or like cables.

Molded cable termination assembly with insert

A multiple switch device is connectable on-line between a multiple conductor electrical cable termination assembly or the like and a receptacle or the like to which the assembly would otherwise be connected. The multiple switch device includes a plurality of slide switches that are selectively actuable to slide directly on contacts integrally molded in a common body part of the device to open or to close respective circuits. A plastic bridge molded in the common body part between respective pairs of contacts over which a common slide switch glides provides a generally continuous planar surface to facilitate such motion without unnecessary wear to the contacts or the slide switch.
