ABSTRACT:
A transition adapter for terminating flat power cable includes a stamped and formed member having opposed plate sections between which an end or an edge portion of the cable is receivable to be terminated where the plate sections have opposing cooperating terminating regions comprised of a plurality of alternating wave shapes and relief recesses, with each wave shape aligned with a recess of the opposing terminating region so that when the plate sections are urged together under sufficient force, the wave crests deflect integral strips of conductor cut of the plane of the cable, exposing sheared conductor edges for electrical connection therewith. Softer metal insert members are secured to and along outer surfaces of the plate sections and are then staked to deform the metal against the sheared conductor edges to engage and form gas-tight electrical connections of substantial surface area therewith. The terminating method can also include staking the wave joints to split them and force the split wave portions laterally, creating strong spring members against which the insert members can be staked for an improved electrical connection.
