Abstract (en)
An insulation piercing connector assembly (1) is provided with a sealing cap (8) mountable over the end of a cable (6) and subsequently insertable between clamping jaws (11, 13) of the connector. The assembled sealing cap (8) and end cable (6) are clamped prior to termination by retaining plates (38) for easier handling and more reliable termination. Insulation piercing contacts of the connector pierce through the body (32) of the sealing cap and insulation layer of the cable during termination. The sealing cap arrangement enables the cable to be inserted between the clamping jaws from a side (7) thereof which is particularly useful in confined spaces. <IMAGE>
