Abstract
An improved control cable terminal for an electrostatic spraying gun includes a magnetically operated reed switch and an insulating body encapsulating both the switch and control wires at the gun end of the control cable. The body defines a switch plug insertable into the gun in operative relationship with a magnetic trigger element. Control cable plugs and receptacles are eliminated as are stresses on the control wires and reed switch. A bracket secures the insulating body to a tool removable coupling holding an electrostatic cable in the gun. The bracket prevents removal of the control cable switch plug, except by tool removal of the electrostatic cable coupling nut.
