Abstract
A snap on strand assembly comprising a molded plastic body and a connecting strand molded in situ in said plastic body. The plastic body includes a cylindrical opening which closely engages a complementary cylindrical portion on a connector element which has a head spaced from the cylindrical portion. The plastic body further includes a frustoconical portion extending axially therefrom and a diametral slot dividing the frustoconical portion into two portions that snap below the head of the connector element. Radial tabs extend from the frustoconical portions to facilitate insertion of a tool for expanding the two portions to remove the body from the connector element.
