Abstract
An electric terminal connector comprises a generally tubular metal part adapted to fit over the previously bared end of the conductive core of an insulated electric conductor. An insulative sleeve has a front portion adapted to be engaged with this metal part and a rear portion larger than the front portion adapted to fit over the corresponding end of the insulation of the electric conductor. The inner end of the metal part is initially straight and is deformed during manufacture into a tulip-shape having on its end surface an outside edge adapted to form an anchor edge by means of which it is anchored to the insulative part. The insulative part has a transverse shoulder with an inside diameter which is less than that of the inside edge of the end surface of the inner end of the metal part and the inner end of the metal part is aligned with the transverse shoulder.
