Method of manufacture of a connector on a flexible-core electrical cable and a flexible-core electrical cable thereof

摘要

The method involves surrounding a multistrand twisted conductive core (21) by a coaxial plastic insulating sheath (22) which is stripped at one end so that the core can be threaded through the central hole (24) of a thin metallic disc (23). Spikes (26) preferably distributed uniformly in a ring around the central hole are driven into the end face of the sheath to secure the disc to the end of the cable. Conductive solder (e.g. Sn-Pb alloy) deposited on to the cable core is drawn by capillary attraction into the spaces between its strands, and covers the tapered neck (25) around the hole which guides the insertion of the core.
