| 20090215306 | ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR WITH COMPRESSION GORES - An electrical connector has a body with a bore that terminates in a sloped surface at its inner end. A cap, through which a conductor is threaded, fits into the bore. An axial inner end of the cap is divided into a plurality of spaced-apart gores which, when the cap is forced axially inwardly, will cam against the sloped surface in the bore, displacing the gores toward the axis and gripping and fastening in place the electrical conductor. Preferably the gores have ridges on their internal surfaces and a center pin standing up from the bottom of the bore has grooves mating with some of these ridges. | 08-27-2009 |
| 20080233791 | COMPRESSION SNAP ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR - One of a set of caps, each having a bore for accepting a conductor within a predetermined range of diameters, has at least one ridge on an external surface thereof formed of a surface pair, with the area of one of the surface pairs being much greater than the other one of the surface pairs. This cap is received into a bore of female connector body with a center pin. The female connector body has one, and preferably has two, grooves formed by a like differential surface pair. A front end of the cap is cut up into fingers which, upon contacting a sloped surface in the female connector body, will fold radially inwardly to clamp the conductor to the center pin. | 09-25-2008 |
