Abstract
An electrical connection cable manufacturing method includes the steps of (1) providing a first insulator defining a plurality of channels for receiving and retaining conductive pins, a tail section of each pin having a sharpened edge; (2) providing a second insulator defining a plurality of channels each receiving a leading end of an electrical wire, each channel having a slot communicating therewith; and (3) bringing the first and second insulators toward each other whereby the tail ends of the pins are inserted into the corresponding slots of the channels of the second insulator and the sharpened edge of each pin cuts through an insulative sheath of the wire to electrically engage a conductive core thereof. An electrical connection cable manufactured from the above-described steps comprises a positive displacement connection between the sharpened edge of the conductive pin and the conductive core of the wire thus soldering is not required.
