ABSTRACT:
An electric connector disclosed for a wide range of conductor sizes has interfitting female and male connector members that flare conductive strands of an electric conductor or cable. The outer contact surface is provided by a malleable material having a hardness less than the hardness of the strands and the strands are pressed into said outer contact surface to increase the contact surface area between the strands and male connector member. A converging passage between the connecting members provides a substantially uniform distribution of the strands around the periphery and press the strands against an outer contact surface of the male connector member and the surfaces of the connector members are shaped in such a way as to provide increased contact surface area and avoid breaking, weakening or kinking of the strands.
