A sleeve mounted inside this insulating coating has an extension in which a plurality of marking elements are received. The sleeve and its extension are directly molded on the terminal.
Claims15
An electrical terminal for a cable to be marked, comprising:
- an electrically conductive member extending along a longitudinal axis between one end for connection to an electrical device, and an opposite end for connection to an electrical cable to be marked;
- an electrically insulating, tubular coating surrounding and fixedly mounted on said opposite end of the conductive member, and having a tubular end region extending along the longitudinal axis away from said opposite end of the conductive member;
- and
- a marking sleeve having a tubular mounting portion fixedly and non-rotatably mounted within the tubular end region of the coating to constitute a non-detachable assembly, said marking sleeve being constituted of a molded synthetic plastic material and having an extension integrally molded with the sleeve, said extension extending along the longitudinal axis away from said opposite end of the conductive member.
