Abstract
Abstract A terminator connector is disclosed for use with a multiconductor cable. The connector is formed of a laminate of two layers of conductive material joined to opposite surfaces of a layer of insulating material and the laminate is provided with various types of undulations so as to be able to be inserted between the various conductors of the cable with each conductive layer being extended for connection to a terminal lug. The connector of the present disclosure is particular adaptable for employment with multiconductor cables where alternate conductors are adapted to be shielding conductors which reside at a particular shielding voltage level.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
80 words
A connective means for a multiconductor cable comprising: a flexible layer of insulative material; and two layers of conductive material joined to opposite surfaces of said layer of insulative material; said respective layers being continuously joined over contiguous surfaces to form a composite solid body shaped into a configuration for insertion between conductors of said cable where one conductive layer makes electrical contact with at least one conductor and the second conductive layer makes electrical contact with a different conductor.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
80 words
A connective means for a multiconductor cable comprising: a flexible layer of insulative material; and two layers of conductive material joined to opposite surfaces of said layer of insulative material; said respective layers being continuously joined over contiguous surfaces to form a composite solid body shaped into a configuration for insertion between conductors of said cable where one conductive layer makes electrical contact with at least one conductor and the second conductive layer makes electrical contact with a different conductor.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A connective means according to claim 1 wherein: one of the conductive layers is of sufficient dimension to make interconnection with two or more conductors of said cable.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
A connective means according to claim 1 wherein: the composite solid body is provided with a series of undulations to receive a row of conductors of said cable.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
44 words
A connective means according to claim 1 wherein: one conductive layer is extended in one direction to facilitate electrical contact with a terminal lug; and the other conductive layer is extended in the opposite direction to facilitate electrical contact with a second terminal lug.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
A connective means according to claim 4 wherein: one of said conductive layers is extended to make electrical contact with a terminal lug having a constant voltage established thereon.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
29 words
A connective means according to claim 4 wherein: one conductive layer is separated into portions each of which is adapted to make electrical Contact with a different cable conductor.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
33 words
A connective means according to claim 6 wherein: at least one of said conductive layer portions is provided with a conductive lead, soldered thereto to make electrical contact with a third terminal lug.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
37 words
A connective means according to claim 6 wherein: at least one of said conductive layer portions is provided with a conductive lead formed as an integral extension thereof to make electrical contact with a third terminal lug.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
23 words
A connective means according to claim 4 including: a plurality of said combined layers connected to different cables and to said terminal lugs.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
24 words
A connective means according to claim 9 wherein: said terminal lugs are isolated electrically except for such connective combined layers and the corresponding cables.
