Electrical connector having a compression barrel and deformable core grip

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A connector is disclosed which includes an electrically conductive compression barrel and a deformable core grip which includes an inner sleeve and three longitudinally extending lobes projecting radially outwardly from the sleeve. The core grip fits over the projecting end of the reinforcing core member in a cable, and the end of the cable with the core grip thereon and length of the cable with conductor strands thereon fit into the end of the compression barrel which is crimped against the core grip and against the conductor strands. Crimping produces a strong mechanical connection between the core grip and both the cable core contained therein and the surrounding compression barrel, and …
