Abstract
A premold body forms an assembly to receive male conductors for molding into a plug. The plug to be used with a female receptacle outlet such as for 120 volt AC current. The body firmly holds blades or blades and a ground pin. By using the premold support the assembly may be assembled automatically, saving time and money in cycle time. The assembly may then be simultaneously crimped to more than one wire. The assembly is more reliable holding the conductors against being dislodged or having wild strands, particularly when molded into an outlet plug. The assembly saves labor and material cost and provides greater reliability over the prior art.
