Abstract
An electrical insulator for supporting an electrical conductor includes a load sustaining molded core, a mounting on the core, an dielectric sheath, and a metal cap. The molded core is formed of a dielectric polymer with opposite longitudinal ends and a profiled lateral outer surface between the ends. The dielectric outer sheath overlies the core outer surface and has a weathershed extending laterally outwardly relative to the core. A metal cap is secured to one end of the core by the metal cap having a portion directly molded to the core. The mounting is located on the end of the core opposite the metal cap.
