Abstract: A male electrical plug and method of assembly thereof, the electrical plug including an elongated interior conductor on which a nonconducting insulator is fixed, the length of the insulator being less than that of the interior conductor and being located thereon such that during assembly an outer end and opposite inner end of the conductor are exposed. A metallic conducting sleeve is mounted on the insulator and is foreshortened relative to the outer and inner ends thereof, and a head pin is fixed to the outer exposed end of the conductor and is insulated from the sleeve by the insulator. Conducting wires are electrically connected to the exposed inner end of the conductor and to the sleeve, and a molded body or housing encapsulates the connections of the conducting wires to the conductor and sleeve.

Abstract: An insulated clamp is provided for attachment to a cap or connector and for clamping a cable terminating in the cap or connector. The clamp includes an insulating lower cover for the cap or connector, a set of clamping cleats cooperating on ramps in the lower cover, and an insulating upper cover engaged with the lower cover by threads on confronting surfaces thereof. The lower cover has a generally tubular form and includes at its lower end an external hand gripping surface and internal means for attachment to and about the wire terminals of a cap or connector. The lower cover also has at its upper end a set of threads on an external surface and an internal set of ramps spaced radially around its inner periphery. The set of clamping cleats is mounted on a pliable band and the individual cleats have a double wedge form. The cleats are symetrically spaced around the band at stations matching the ramps of the lower cover.
