Abstract (en)

[origin: US4118095A] {PG,1 A wire connecting block includes a pair of mating connectors for effecting electrical cross-connections between a first set of conductors and a second set of conductors. The first connector indexes the first conductors and holds them in alignment for engagement with a plurality of insulation-penetrating slotted beam contacts carried by the second connector. An integral skirt, along the bottom edge of the second connector, covers exposed ends of the first conductors to maintain electrical isolation therebetween. Opposite ends of the slotted beam contacts, exposed along a top edge of the second connector engage the second set of conductors for cross-connection to the first set of conductors.
