ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for a multiconductor cable is disclosed where the connector is formed at one end of a conductor disposed in a flexible metal conduit by providing the conductor with a terminal at the one end and placing at least a portion of the terminal along with portions of the conductor and the flexible metal conduit in a connector forming cavity to thereafter form insulating material about the terminal, conductor and flexible metal conduit portions in the cavity. By this technique the insulating material may be made to conform to the exterior of the flexible metal conduit portion and also to conform to a section of the interior of that conduit along a length extending beyond the cavity thereby providing an extremely rugged and serviceable connector arrangement. The terminal may be simply crimped about the conductor near the end thereof and somewhat beyond the end of the flexible metal conduit and the insulating material formed by an injection molding technique.
