Abstract (en)

[origin: US6135804A] An electrical connector assembly includes a main connector body formed of insulating material and containing a longitudinal through bore, an electrical contact having an insulation-piercing cutting edge mounted in a slot contained in the rear end of the connector body, and a wire support member having a forward end portion that is insertable within the slot, the support member forward end containing on its lateral surface a vertical groove for receiving an insulated wire conductor, whereby when the support member forward end is inserted within the slot, the cutting edge pierces the wire insulation and engages the electrical conductor at a desired location intermediate its ends.
