ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a novel terminal for an end of a cable that includes at least two electrical conductors. One especially suitable cable is one that includes the common constantan and copper conductors employed in thermocouple applications. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the terminal includes first and second housing sections which, when combined, define an electrically insulative housing for the receipt and anchoring therein of one end of a cable without the use of fasteners of any type aside from the structural features of the housing sections. The first and second housing sections each comprise a thin planar base having a plurality of projections extending from one surface thereof that are received in frictional mating engagement when the two housing sections are joined. The first housing section includes a pair of thin, flat electrically insulative legs that extend from one end thereof, each of which is adapted to receive along the opposite flat surfaces thereof an electrical conductor, i.e., wire, which extends from the interior of the housing and returns to the interior of the housing where the outboard end thereof is anchored.
