Crimped banana-type electrical connector and method thereof

摘要

A crimped banana-type electrical connector includes an axially extending male pin having a conductive contact portion and a connector post extending axially from one end of the pin. The stranded or solid core of a wire or wires is positioned along the exposed post and a crimping ferrule placed over the wire and the post. The crimping ferrule is forced radially inward to crimp the wire to the post and, thereafter, an insulating sleeve is placed over the crimped connection to provide a compact and permanent mechanical and electrical connection between the wire and the banana-type pin.
