Abstract: A splice that includes two semi-cylindrical splice members joined together for relative pivotal movement into and out of engagement with each other in a closed mode and an open mode, respectively. Each splice member includes a plurality of channels. Respective channels of each splice member are aligned with each other in the closed mode to form respective cavities. The walls of a first cavity are structured and arranged to bear against a first length of wire, and the walls of a second cavity are structured and arranged to bear against a second length of wire. An electrical component is retained in a third cavity and is mechanically and electrically coupled to the first length of wire within the first cavity and the second length of wire in a fourth cavity.

Abstract: A connector is provided including a plastic bushing having a bore which extends therethrough. A contact having an abutment region extends into one end of the bore to an adjacent abutment region of the bushing. A central conductor of a coaxial cable extends into an opposite end of the bore and is soldered to the abutment region of the contact. The plastic bushing is inserted into a conductive connector shell which engages a shield layer of the coaxial cable. The adjacent abutment regions prevent rotation of the contact about its axis.

Abstract: A connector assembly is provided which includes an elongated metal housing which contains an electrical connector spaced from the housing by an insulator, a coaxial cable being electrically and mechanically connected to the electrical connector. The elongated metal housing includes a tapered section at one end which secures a metal shell to a metal sleeve between which a ground wire braid of the coaxial cable is sandwiched, the metal shell and metal sleeve being fastened to an end of the coaxial cable.
