Abstract
A device is disclosed for facilitating insertion of an exposed conductive element, such as an exposed wire end of an electrical cable, into an electrical connector in termination with a terminal in the connector. The device is in the form of a shroud of insulating material secured to an insulating portion of the conductive element and substantially surrounding a conductor portion of the conductive element. The shroud is configured to allow the conductor portion to be inserted into the connector in termination with the terminal therein. In the preferred embodiment, the shroud is insert molded to the insulating portion of the conductive element.
