DEFINITION

Classification: 439/882

Wire conductor secured within ferrule having series of preformed wire-gripping means therein:

(under subclass 877) Electrical connector or contact wherein the malleable attaching or fastening part is in the form of ferrule-forming means for receiving therein and being crimped or otherwise pressure forged onto the end of a wire-type conductor; and wherein the interior conductor-gripping surface of the ferrule-forming means has a plurality of longitudinally spaced teeth, ridges, grooves, ribs, serrations, or other corrugated means formed therein during manufacture of the connector or contact so as to provide increased axial friction upon the end of a crimped conductor, thereby tending to prevent axial separation of the conductor from the ferrule forming means.
