Title: Ignition cable terminals
Abstract:
This disclosure relates to ignition cable terminals and their methods of manufacture, and to the application of such terminals to conventional cables of the kind having a non-metallic core projecting from one end of an insulating jacket, the core being provided with conductive material having radio frequency suppression characteristics. A terminal is formed from a blank of conductive metal and has flanges at one end to form a cylinder that may be clamped to the insulating jacket and the opposite end of the blank has flanges which are rolled to form a socket for the reception of a spark plug electrode. Between the ends of the terminal is an intermediate body portion which is offset toward the longitudinal axis of the terminal to provide a base on which the core may seat. The offset base is flanked by a pair of arms which are deformed to provide curved surfaces confronting the core and overhanging the base, the arms being bent toward and into engagement with the core to clamp the latter between the base and the arms.
