Abstract (en)
A contact member (14) for forming an electrical connection with insulated conductors of either a solid core, stranded or tinsel ribbon type is formed from a unitary piece of stamped sheet metal and includes both insulation displacement portions (52) and insulation piercing portions (54). Each insulation displacement portion comprises a plate (56) having a slot (58) for establishing contact with a solid core conductor by severing and displacing its insulation. Each insulation piercing portion includes an arm (62) spaced laterally from an adjacent plate (56) having a conductor receiving opening (64) with a barb (66) for piercing through the conductor insulation. The arms (62) are deflectable with respect to the plates (56) upon interaction of the barbs (66) with a solid core conductor terminated to the contact member. The insulation displacement and insulation piercing portions of the contact member may thus co-operate or function alternatively to provide an effective electrical connection with a conductor, regardless of its particular type.
