ABSTRACT:
A field-attachable electrical connector splices the conductors of two armored cables without hand soldering. The connector has a rigid hollow housing with axial passages at both ends that receive and locate the cables. Insulating end supports locate and seal the conductors projecting from the outer armor jacket. A sealing connector, also formed of an insulating material, bridges the end supports and surrounds the stripped ends of the conductors of both cables and a pin contact secured on each conductor's end. A locking contact socket member with two axially oriented oppositely directed sockets is secured in a passage of the seal connector between a pair of the stripped ends. A spring clip carried on the pin contact mates with a recess in the socket connector to secure each pin contact in a reliable electrical connection within an associated socket. Each socket connector has a gas impermeable wall between its two sockets. The housing has a compact cross-sectional profile and is configured internally to be in a close-fitting relationship with the end supports and the sealing connection between the end supports.
