Abstract

A cable termination assembly according to the invention includes a cable with signal and ground isolation conductors, insulation for insulating said electrical conductors, an intermediate conductor portion of each conductor being exposed and deformed between adjacent portions of said insulation, contacts for electrically connecting respective signal conductors to an external device, the contacts being electrically connected directly to the exposed deformed intermediate conductor portions to form a junction therewith, and a body enclosing said junctions and intermediate conductor portions and securing the same in relative position while leaving part of the contacts exposed for electrically connecting with such external device. The ground conductors are in abutment for common connection thereof beyond the end of the insulation, and a secure pull tab is provided for withdrawing the assembly from a connection. The invention also relates to a method for making such assemblies.
