There is disclosed an electrical cord and attachment plug assembly suitable for use in applications requiring a very high degree of reliability, e.g., for use on hospital and life support equipment and the like. The assembly is of a construction which insures that the electrical cord, or any of the single conductors thereof, does not pull out of the plug assembly and interrupt the electrical continuity. The assembly includes an electrical cord having a plurality of single conductors within an outer jacket and bearing a plurality of contact members, including a pair of flat-bladed prongs connected distally to respective ones of a pair of the single conductors with each of the single conductors knotted adjacent the contact members. The cord also bears cord-retaining bushings clamped about the jacket of the cord. The end of the electrical cord is received within a molded attachment plug body and the cord-retaining bushings and the knotted ends of the single conductors with their attached contact members are entirely embedded within the molded plug.
