摘要：A simple and highly effective method and apparatus for field terminating flatpower cable such as used in undercarpet wiring systems. Each conductor, with tightlybonded insulation, of a multi-conductor flat power cable is (at the point of installation in-situ) slotted or cut through with thin narrow slots which leave corresponding narrowrectangular openings through the insulation and conductor. Then a thin conductive deviceor terminal with corresponding ribs which easily though precisely fit into the slots, isplaced in the slot openings, is secured in place on the cable by a suitable means, and theassembly then crimped or flattened together to give a pressure-tight high-conductivity,electrically stable termination only about twice as thick as the insulated conductor. Theapplicator tooling may be a simple punch and die, and a hammer or pliers. An insulating\"bandage\" is applied over the termination and bonded to the conductor insulationthereby giving a water- tight joint impervious to corrosion. The metal or steel top shieldrequired by the National Electrical Code is similarly terminated in order to assure\"ground\" continuity.
