ABSTRACT:
Relief against torque for a terminal terminated to an end portion of a flat conductor cable is provided by a low height rearward section of a metal member having opposed sections forwardly of a cable-receiving end having a transverse cable-receiving slot. The cable end is inserted through the slot for termination forwardly of the cable-receiving end and disposed between the opposed sections. The opposed sections are joined together by a pair of integral spaced bight straps or hinge sections beside the cable at the ends of the slot. The straps or hinges enable the metal member to resist torque applied to the termination by the cable. The metal member can be the terminal itself, a transition adapter for termination to flat electrical cable of the type having opposed plate sections applied to the major cable surfaces which include means for mechanical and electrical connections therewith. A pair of elongate flanges can extend along the sides of the slot and outwardly away from the major cable surfaces to provide strength ribs to prevent torque from the cable from prying apart the plate sections of the adapter after termination.
