Inventor's Note: [Reference to Related Applications] This case was filed on September 3, 2003 by Randall A_ Holliday for the US Patent Application No. 10/654,808 for "Adapters for Small Coaxial Cables". - Partial continuation and referred to in this case by reference; July 10, 004 by Randall A. Holliday for the "coaxial cable splice connector assembly" proposed by the United States 1 0/8 8 5 , part of the continuation of the patent application No. 24, and is referred to in this case by reference; and on January 6, 2004 by Randall A. Holliday for "cable connectors with interchangeable ribbons" A series of consecutive patent applications filed in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 10/752,287, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to wire connectors, and more particularly to a novel and improved wire connector assembly for connecting stranded wires to an electronic device such as a home entertainment center On the component. [Prior Art] A sound system typically uses a twisted-wire connector cable between terminals of various components such as a speaker, an amplifier, and a tuner. Stranded wires present different types of problems compared to conductor pin joints in ensuring a true connection with maximum pull-out strength. When pressure is applied to connect to another electrical component or component, the strands are somewhat amorphous and resilient and mobile. Furthermore, the strands are of different gauges or diameters depending on the desired signal strength, so it will be difficult to use only a threaded connector to ensure a true connection to 1321383. At the same time, it is highly desirable to be able to use a standard size connector body or housing so as to be connectable to the terminals of the electronic components, and wherein the system is suitable for use with different types of connection accessories, such as gamma fork terminals, : banana plugs , pin connectors and sockets, and allow for the interchangeable connection of different sizes of connector wires within a standard size of the connector body. A representative patent relating to a collapsible connector is "Small Coaxial Cable Connector and Mounting Method" of U.S. Patent No. 6,800,583, and "U.S. Patent No. 6,830,479". Both of these are from the inventors of this application. These patents are primarily concerned with coaxial cable connectors. Other representative patents are issued to JE Victor, US Patent No. 6,406,313, to US Patent No. 6,176,716 to GA_MerCuri, et al., to US Patent No. 6,644,993 to JE Victor, and to N. Lee. U.S. Patent No. 5,529,513. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a novel and improved stranded connector assembly. • Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel and improved twisted wire connector assembly adapted to exchangeably connect one or more wires of different gauges to a terminal or terminal in a fast and reliable manner . Another object of the present invention is to provide a novel and improved electric wire connector assembly suitable for use as an end connector that can be connected to a wiring post or terminal of an electronic component, and as an An end connector that is connected to the wall socket or an engagement connection that can be connected to the wall socket in an efficient and reliable manner. 1321383 is used in each connector assembly in which the internal thread wall portion is sized to match a different gauge wire, but the outer diameter of the adapter is the same so that the same or phase can be used for different gauge wires. The connector body of the size is further characterized in that the adapter is further provided with a slot for forming a plurality of adapter arc segments at the inlet end of the adapter for inserting the wires, the slots being sized The restriction may be such that the segments contract radially inwardly to form a total contraction with the end of the wire. The connector body of the present invention is suitable for use in a joint connection assembly such that wires of the same or different specifications can be joined together, wherein the connector bodies can engage complementary male and female connection end portions; One of the connector bodies can be mounted in a wall or power socket, which can for example comprise a power junction box, and one of the wires can extend into the junction box for mounting in the socket One of the connector bodies. The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from [Embodiment] Referring to the drawings in more detail, FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a preferred form of a wire connector assembly 10, which is a connector body 1 having a slightly cylindrical shape. 1. A collapsing member 1 2, an adapter sleeve 1 4 and a standard structure strand W. For example, the wire w is usually composed of a cover J that surrounds the periphery of a plurality of strands S that are bundled into a slightly spiral shape. In addition, the wire type connector is selected for the wire of the home entertainment system and extends, for example, between the speaker terminal and the tuner or the 1321383 terminal and electrically connects it. To ensure that the wire w is attached to a terminal, the adapter sleeve 1 I can be constructed of a slightly cylindrical sleeve or tube that is open at one end 20 and closed at the opposite end 22. The adapter sleeve 14 is elongate and, as best seen in Figures 5, 6, and 7, a plurality of longitudinal slots 24 spaced apart along the circumference are sleeved The larger length portion of 14 is divided into a plurality of arcuate segments 26 that surround a common circle. The inner wall portion of the section 26 is threaded at 27 and the outer wall of the section 26 is provided with an annular groove 28. The inlet end 20 of the sleeve 14 is formed as a countersunk hole or enlarged at 30 to allow the wire bundle S to enter the inlet end a predetermined distance before contacting the threaded portion 27. The size of the threaded portion 27 shown in Fig. 5 is set for a larger gauge strand S so that when the adapter sleeve 14 and the wire W are rotated in opposite directions with respect to each other, the end portion S will slightly twist as it advances through the threaded portion, and then it will continue to advance beyond the threaded portion into the space 23 inside the end cap 22. Figures 6 and 7 illustrate adapter sleeves 1 4 ′ and 1 4 ′′′ for smaller gauge strands, respectively, and similar parts are correspondingly numbered in the fifth figure. For example, in Fig. 6, the strand s1 may be a 14 gauge wire, and the internally threaded portion 2 7 ' is correspondingly made by a smaller size such that it is the same as described in Fig. 5. The manner of advancing through the threaded portion 27' into the space 23' allows the wire S to be more securely engaged. Figure 7 illustrates a smaller strand, such as a 12 gauge wire. Further, the internal thread wall portion 27 μ is dimensioned to be smaller than that shown in -10-1321383 in Fig. 6 so that it is rotationally advanced to the wiring harness when the adapter sleeve 1 v' is rotated. In the upper case, the strands S1 ' can be tightly connected. In order to match the size of one of the adapter sleeves 14, I4, and one of the bundles S, S, and S1', a label or ring 32 is mounted on the outer surface of the adapter sleeve adjacent the end 22. Preferably, the label is a specific color elastic band that is coded to indicate a particular size of the adapter sleeve, and the belt is preferably made of a friction material such as rubber. The reason will be described below. In addition, the 'band 32, 32' or 32" is dimensioned such that it can be stretched beyond the end of the adapter sleeve and placed in the surface of the end 22, 22' or 22" The shallow groove 34 is such that it can slightly protrude beyond the outer surface, and thereby facilitates engagement with the collapse member 12 in one manner (described below). For example, the ring 3 2 ′′ may be red to indicate a 12 2 gauge bushing and wire; may be green to indicate a 14 gauge bushing and wire; may be yellow to indicate a 16 gauge wire . Although the internal thread wall portions 2 7 - 2 7 '' are set to different sizes to accommodate different gauge wires, the outer wall portions 26-26" have the same maximum diameter, and the maximum diameter is equal to or slightly smaller than the connector sleeve 34. The inner diameter at one end of the connector body 11. The sleeve 34 is elongate so as to be fully inserted into a selected sleeve of one of the adapter sleeves 14_14_', such as shown in Figures 9 and 11. In addition, the inlet end of the connector sleeve 34 is provided with a series of axially spaced alternating rib members 35 and slots 36' which are spaced along an adapter sleeve 14-14, and the upper outer slot 2 8 -2 8_ is the part of the opposite configuration. Thus, when the ribs 35 are subjected to the collapse pressure in one manner (described below in -11- 丄 321 383), they will enter the slots 28. The outer wall surface of the connector sleeve includes tapered wall portions 37 and 38 such that the body 46 and, in particular, the inner tapered surface 48, which will be described hereinafter, are forced to be positioned at the ends of the tapered wall portions 37 and 38. The shoulders 3 9 and 3 9 1 are connected. The opposite ends of the body 11 and the sleeve 34 are adapted to attach different types of terminal connectors, such as the banana plug connector 60 shown in FIG. 3 and the Y-pin terminal connector 62» shown in FIG. Any of the devices 60 or 62 will be screwed at 64 to the threaded socket end 66 shown in Figures 8, 9, and 11 in a conventional manner. As best seen in Figures 8 through 12, the preferred form of the collapse member 12 includes a body 46 having a ring or hollow cylindrical configuration having an outer wall 40' which has a removable outer wall 40 An insertion portion 42 of an outer liner 44. The collapse member 2 includes a liner 44' that is permanently adhered to the body 46 and the outer liner 44 is typically comprised of a material (such as brass) that is permanently adhered to the body 40, and the body 46 Preferably, it consists of a plastic material having at least one limited compressibility. The body 46 has a first front tapered inner wall surface 47 having an increased taper angle with respect to a second inner tapered wall surface 48, and the second tapered wall surface terminates on the oblique end surface 50. And the third wall surface 49 having a uniform diameter intersects. In fact, the installer is arched to several sets of adapter sleeves I4, 14, and 丨4, which are intended for use with different gauge wires. Of course, other sizes may also be provided for different gauge wires and may be marked or indicated with a suitable color ring 3 2 to indicate or indicate the size or gauge of the wire to be used -12-1321383. The installer can then prepare the wire lead or the end of the connector by cutting the insulating cover j to expose the length of a standard wire s, the length generally corresponding to the adapter sleeve from the inlet end of the end cap 22 to the inside The length of the surface. • The connector body 11 is inserted into the tapered end of the colloidal member 12 and advanced. At the point shown in Fig. 9, wherein the open end of the sleeve 34 is advanced through the tapered end or wall surface 47 It is in contact with the second tapered wall surface 48 as shown in Fig. 8. The adapter sleeve 12 and the assembled wire W are inserted through the opposite ends of the collapsing member 12 such that the adapter sleeve 12 pushes through the sleeve 34 and causes the rib 35 to The slots 28 in the adapter sleeve are aligned so as to be in the open position shown in Figure 9. Prior to the actual collapse operation, the 〇-ring 32 will apply sufficient friction to the inner wall surface of the sleeve 34 to maintain the adapter sleeve 14 in the fully inserted position and the inner wall of the adapter sleeve 12 Then, due to its screwing, a sufficient compressive force is applied to the strand to initially hold the wire in the correct position. Then, the open connector assembly shown in Fig. 9 is placed on a suitable crimping tool, such as the total shrinking tool proposed and disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 6,0,9,9, 1 3 Or a tool of the type CPLCCT-SLM manufactured and sold by ICMC 〇rp. of Denver, Colorado, wherein an axial force is applied to the opposite of the connector body 1 1 and the collapse member 12. To force the second inner tapered wall surface 48 to continue along the outer tapered wall surfaces 38 and 37 of the sleeve 34 until the tapered end 47 of the collapse member moves to the outer shoulder portion 11 of the connector body 'Connected as shown in the figure. In this relationship, the outer tapered wall surface 38 will have advanced into engagement with the inner third wall surface portion 49. -13- 1321383 Figure 2 is another isometric view of the connector assembly shown in Figure 1, where the parts have been assembled.
