Method of connecting a cable with a cable connector

摘要

A method of connecting a cable with a cable connector comprises the steps of mounting a signal transmitting contact on a housing of a cable connector, said signal transmitting contact being formed to have an intersecting portion, an inclined portion and mutually opposite crooked portions forming a slit, forming an annular groove on an insulator covering a core wire in a cable, engaging the annular groove on the cable with the crooked portions so that the core wire appearing in the annular groove is pressed into the slit, and causing a part of the insulator of the cable positioned to demarcate the annular groove to be pushed by the inclined portion of the signal transmitting contact to move for projecting from a top end of the cable toward the outside so that the core wire appearing in the annular groove is put in press-contact with the slit.

1. A method of connecting a cable with a cable connector, which comprises the steps of:
mounting a signal transmitting contact on a housing made of insulating material of a cable connector, said signal transmitting contact being formed by bending a conductive strip-shaped plate to have a basic plane portion put in a predetermined standard plane, an intersecting portion extending in a direction intersecting to the standard plane, an inclined portion extending in a direction inclined to the standard plane to face the intersecting portion, and a pair of crooked portions being opposite to each other to form a slit and shaped to contain a junction between the intersecting portion and the inclined portion, wherein one of the intersecting portion and the inclined portion is elongated from the basic plane portion, forming an annular groove on an insulator covering a core wire at an end portion of a cable having the core wire covered with the insulator to cause the core wire to appear in the annular groove, engaging the annular groove formed on the insulator of the cable with the crooked portions provided between the intersecting portion and the inclined portion of the signal transmitting contact so that the core wire appearing in the annular groove is pressed into the slit formed between the crooked portions, and causing a part of the insulator positioned at a top end of the cable for demarcating the annular groove to be pushed by the inclined portion of the signal transmitting contact to move for projecting from the top end of the cable toward the outside so that the core wire appearing in the annular groove is put in press-contact with the slit formed between the crooked portions to be electrically connected with the signal transmitting contact.
