Abstract
Connectors for forming an end electrically accessible termination on a center conductor and for electrically accessing an outer conductor of a conventional coax cable are disclosed. The use of such connectors with conventional triaxial cable in a low frequency three-phase electrical power supply application is also disclosed. The connector for accessing an intermediate conductor in a triaxial cable and for accessing an outer conductor in either a coaxial or triaxial cable features a flanged base member and a flanged cover member disposed over the base member wherein an exposed end portion of the conductor being accessed is trapped between the members, preferably including between their flanges. The flange of one of the members is folded over the flange of the other one of the members and crimped, as with a suitable crimping tool, to secure the members together with the conductor tightly sandwiched between them to form a low resistance connection between the conductor and the cover member.
