ABSTRACT:
A connecting device for use with fine wire (20) and the like has a post (14) and a sleeve (6), each of which have tapered portions. The sleeve (6) surrounds the post (14) and has an inner surface which extends longitudinally along the sleeve (6) length. A space is provided between the post (14) and the sleeve (6) when the post (14) is fitted into the sleeve (6), the space dimensioned to receive at least one conductive lead (20) therein. The conductive leads (20), post (14) and sleeve (6) are configured such that as the post (14) is axially driven relative to the sleeve (6), the lead (20) is substantially deformed in a termination zone which has serrations (18) provided therein and the post (14) is wedged into an interlocking frictional fit within the sleeve (6) to entrap and terminate the lead (20) to the post (14) and the sleeve (6). A cutting blade (22) is provided proximate the serrations (18) to severe the lead (20) when the post (14) is terminated in the sleeve (6). A strain relief portion (24) is also provided proximate the serrations (18), the strain relief portion (24) cooperates with the lead (20) to insure that the lead (20) will not be damaged as a force is applied thereto.
