Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0393927A1] A tap or splice connector especially useful for a pair of dual conductor flat power cables (12,14) includes two pairs of upper and lower structures (60,80) which are applied to the stacked in-line cables side-by-side and then enclosed in a housing (16,18). The upper and lower structures (60,80) each have a transverse array of cable-engaging wave-shaped bosses alternating with wave-receiving relief recesses when pressed together, so that the waves press trips of both cables in upper and lower arrays into the opposing recesses thus exposing conductor edges of the strips for electrical connection. Outer surfaces of the structures (60,80) are then staked (54,58) to urge the metal thereof laterally and tightly against the conductor edges adjacent thereto. The structures (60,80) preferably are self-locking upon being staked to secure the upper and lower structures (60,80) to each other and to the cables (12,14).
