IMPROVED PLUG ASSEMBLY AND PLUG PIN

摘要

A plug pin having (i) a forward conductive portion (3); (ii) an intermediate conductive portion (7) which in use receives an insulating sleeve (4), which may be integral with the plug bridge or may be free-standing; and (iii) a rearward connecting portion (9) which is small enough to pass through the sleeve before an electrical conductor is connected to the said connecting portion. Also provides a plug assembly incorporating at least one such pin, together with the said sleeve, a plug bridge (30), and connecting means (8), preferably a separately-formed crimp bucket, for connecting a conductor (20, 21, 28) to the rearward connecting portion of the pin. Reduces the cost of insulating the pins and facilitates plug assembly.
