Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0004146A1] An electrical connector comprises an electrical terminal (9) having a contact end (10) and a crimping ferrule (11) for connection to an electrical conductor (12, 13), the crimping ferrule (11) being received in a metal sleeve (1) which extends beyond the end of the crimping ferrule (11) in the direction away from the contact end (10) of the terminal (9), the metal sleeve (1) in turn being received in an outer sleeve (8) of electrically insulating material. The metal sleeve (1) is a seamless member having a relatively thick wall over the portion (2) overlying the crimping ferrule (11), and a relatively thin wall over the portion (3) extending beyond the end of the crimping ferrule (11). The different thickenesses of the two portions of the metal sleeve ensure reliable crimping of the connector to an insulated conductor at these two positions.
