Abstract:
The containment, splicing, or termination of the line is achieved by selective crimping along a housing. In a preferred form, the housing comprises a crimp barrel having a series of axially displaced apertures formed therein. A line, e. g. a wire, is inserted in the barrel, and a force is applied in registration with each aperture to deform the barrel and the line so that the deformed portion of the barrel maintains the deformed portion of the line against the aperture. The line scrapes against edges of the aperture to form a tight joint.
