CA 2068485

A length of cordage is terminated by a modular plug which includes a plurality of blade-like terminals. Each terminal includes two spaced tangs which when the terminal is seated in a housing of the plug are caused to engage electrically stranded metallic wire-like elements or tinsel ribbons which are wound helically about a filamentary plastic core of a conductor of a cordage 21. In order to enhance the integrity of the tinsel conductors and their contact with the terminals, the tangs are spaced apart a distance which differs from the lay length of the ribbons. Also, in order to enhance the probability of sustained electrical contact between the tangs and either stranded or tinsel ribbon conductors, the width of the portion each tang in engagement with the electrically conductive portion of an aligned associated conductor as measured in a direction along the length of the conductor is substantially less than in prior art terminals, thereby reducing the amount of the conductive portion of the aligned associated conductor which is penetrated when the terminal is inserted.
