ABSTRACT:
An end fitting for a cable assembly of the type including a conduit and a core wire slidably mounted within the conduit. The end fitting includes a housing defining a slot for snapping receipt of a mounting pin on a member to be controlled, an elongated tubular guide member receiving the free end of the core wire and slidably mounted on the housing, a spring interposed between the housing and the guide member, and a locking clip mounted on the housing for movement between a disengaged position in which serrations on the clip are spaced from serrations on the guide member and an engaged position in which the clip serrations are engaged with the guide member serrations to preclude axial movement of the guide member relative to the housing. The end fitting is readily assembled by positioning the spring over the guide member and passing the guide member slidably through a housing passage to compress the spring between an outboard face of the housing and a head portion of the guide member and to snappingly position a head portion on the other end of the guide member proximate another outboard face of the housing to preclude axial separation of the guide member from the housing. The locking clip includes outboard finger portions which coact with vertically spaced detents on the outboard faces of side walls of the housing to define the disengaged and engaged position of the locking clip relative to the guide member.
