Abstract (en)

A device for connecting insulated electrical cables (C) comprises a pair of clamps (110) each provided with an engagement block (13) and a fork-shaped slider (15) resiliently snap-engaged for sliding in two holes in the block (13). Each block (13) and each slider (15) has a through-hole for the passage of a self-tapping screw both for piercing the insulation (G) of the adjacent electrical cables (C) to enable their electrical connection, and for enabling the pair of clamps (110) to be clamped.
