ABSTRACT:
An initially integral terminal assembly 84; 94 useful for terminating a selected conductor 74; of a flat power cable 72 having at least two insulated conductors 74, 76 includes upper and lower plate sections 26, 50 extending in diverging directions from a common bendable hinge 46 defining a cable receiving region therebetween. Each plate section 26, 50 has at least a first portion 28, 52 corresponding to the first conductor 74 and a second portion 36, 60 associated with a second conductor 76 of the cable 72. Each portion 28, 52; 36, 60 further includes conductor terminating regions 30, 38, 54, 62 intermediate opposed upstanding side walls 42, 66 of the upper and lower plate sections 26, 50. One of the terminating regions 30, 54; 38, 62 of a selected one of the first or second portions 28, 52; 36, 60 of the plate sections 26, 50 corresponds to a selected cable conductor 74; 76 contains respective arrays of shearing means 32, 56; 40, 64 adapted to penetrate the selected conductor 74, 76 inserted therebetween upon the upper and lower plate sections 26, 50 being pressed together to shear the insulation and the selected conductor 74; 76. The terminating regions 38, 62; 30, 54 of the portions 36, 60; 28, 52 corresponding to the remaining cable conductors 76, 74 are severed from the assembly 84, 94 prior to terminating the assembly to the cable 72. Upon termination the assembly 84; 94 is electrically connected to the selected conductor 74; 76 and electrically isolated from the remaining conductors 76; 74.
