<p>A multi-core cable connector (Fig. 24) comprises a two-part casing 1 and a terminal block (not shown) connected to the bared cores 30 of a multi-core cable a. A harpoon-shaped wedge b is inserted between cores 30 so that its shank is within the end portion of the cable sheath 32. The cable a is then tightly clamped around the shank by a clamp c which engages in channels 11 formed in each part of the casing 1. As a result of being clamped against the wedge b the sheath 32, cores 30 and the insulating sleeves 30a therearound, the cable a is extremely resistant to being pulled out of the connector. In variants the wedge b may have a conical or generally cylindrical body and be provided with a thread or transverse ridges. Longitudinal grooves may be provided, each for reception of a core sleeve 30a, and the head be omitted. <IMAGE></p> |
