Abstract

A cathode for an electro-chemical apparatus, such as an electroplating barrel, is provided with a contactor removably attached to the end of the electrical conductor cable in order to be discarded and readily replaced by another contactor after the plating material "builds-up" on the contactor to a condition where the plating inhibits electrical conductivity. The combination of a cathode and a length of insulated electrical conductor cable extending into the electroplating barrel is referred to in the art as a dangler. The subject dangler assembly comprises an insulated conductor cable having one end stripped of insulation.
