The method for making a takeout, at a junction point on an electric cable covered by a continuous insulating sleeve, involves joining a conductor element at the junction by frictionally inserting the conductor element through a small opening at the selected point in the sleeve. The conductor element makes contact mechanically and electrically with a portion of the electric cable so that the contact surface is covered by the sleeve along the longitudinal direction. The portion of the conductor element extending outside of the electric cable can be bent to provide the desired takeout. Two conductor elements can be so inserted through said opening, in opposite longitudinal directions, and the external portions thereof mechanically and electrically joined together to form the desired takeout. Such electric junction can be improved by twisting and then soldering the external portions of the conductor elements. |

The connection member does not extend beyond the external cross-sectional contour of the conductor ends, and preferably is formed of a material, such as silver, having higher electrical conductivity than the material of the conductor ends. The contact surfaces may be coated with gold. Alternatively, the connector member may be formed of copper, and the contact surfaces coated with silver. The connector member may overlap the end portions of the conductor ends, and pins arranged in aligned holes in the connector member and end portions. The connector member may be stepped, with a pin at each step, and may be formed of one piece or a series of strips one upon another. The pins may be formed as one piece with the connector member. The spacing between the pins may be greater than the holes which accommodate them. |
