Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0952627A1] The invention is a connector for the connection of the cores of electrical conductors, said connector formed of an insulating material body with electrically conducting inserts therein to make contact with respective conductor cores. A switch is provided which can be moved between open and closed positions and, when moved to a closed position, allows electrical contact between the said conductor cores. The movement, at least adjacent to the closed position of the switch, is relatively fast so as to prevent arcing and allows conductor cores which are live to be connected using the connector.
