Abstract
In a welding gun apparatus, an improved electrical power conductor assembly in which electrical conduit wire may be readily secured to a cable connector body while the structural integrity of the conduit wire is maintained. Conduit wire is fastened to the connector body by means of an axially movable connector sleeve which secures the wire against a tapered mandrel on the connector body. A pressure nut threadably adapted to the connector body controls the axial position of the connector sleeve.
