Claims
- 1. A no-crimp multi-wire plug assembly comprising:a non-conductive body member having a plurality of connection chambers formed therein, one connection chamber for each wire, respectively, each connection chamber having an internally threaded wall and a conductive element positioned centrally in said connection chamber and having a splaying end in said connection chamber, each said conductive element having an opposite end to said splaying end and said opposite end being formed selectively as a male prong or a female, prong-receiving member, a portion of each conductive element embedded in said non-conductive body member, a plurality of male clamp members having external threads for threaded engagement with said internally threaded wall and a throughbore with a complementary shape to said splaying end so that wires passing through said throughbore are sprayed on the splaying end and clamped to said splaying end, respectively.
- 2. The no-crimp multi-wire plug assembly defined in claim 1 wherein in said body member is flat.
- 3. The no-crimp multi-wire plug assembly defined in claim 1 wherein said body member is round.
- 4. A no-crimp multi-wire plug assembly comprising:a non-conductive body member having a plurality of connection chambers formed therein, one connection chamber for each wire, respectively, each connection chamber having an internally threaded wall and a conductive element positioned centrally in said connection chamber and having a splaying end in said connection chamber, each said conductive element having an opposite end to said splaying end, said opposite end being formed selectively as a (1) male prong or (2) a female prong-receiving member, each said conductive element being molded in said non-conductive body member, each said conductive element having a central flange which serves as a stop for the molding of the conductive element into said non-conductive body member, and a plurality of male clamp members having external threads for threaded engagement with said internally threaded wall and a throughbore with a complementary shape to said splaying end so that wires passing through said throughbore are splayed on the splaying end and clamped to said splaying ends, respectively.
