ABSTRACT:
A terminal assembly for a cable having a multiplicity of conductors, particularly having a relatively high number of small gauge conductors, and providing an individual terminal for each conductor. The terminal assembly comprises a terminal block having a plurality of terminal cavities at one face of the block to receive respective terminal elements and a plurality of conductor apertures in the opposite end of the terminal block. The respective conductors with or without a terminal element connected thereto pass through each conductor aperture to be connected to a terminal element in, or to be located in, a respective terminal cavity. Locking means are provided of the terminal block adapted to anchor each conductor to the terminal block to thereby limit the transmission of cable or conductor movement externally of the terminal block to the terminal elements. The locking means includes an element selectively movable between a first position permitting passage of the conductors with or without a terminal element connected thereto through the conductor apertures into the terminal block and a second position locking each of the conductors relative to the terminal block.
