Termination of electrical cable, and method of making
Abstract:
A cable termination and method are disclosed that electrically and mechanically terminates a bundled cable that requires a radial space only slightly greater than the cable diameter. An electrically-conductive ferrule is connected to an end of a cable, with a conductive adhesive such as a conductive epoxy injected into the ferrule to mechanically connect the ferrule to the cable end, and to electrically couple the ferrule to a shield of the cable, such as a braided wire shield. The ferrule is received by a connector housing, such as being inserted between a pair of connector housing halves, to retain the ferrule mechanically coupled to the housing, and to electrically couple the ferrule to the housing.
