Abstract (en)

A branch connector (10) for connecting each of the conductors of a feeder cable to each of the conductors of a branch cable, including two jaws (11a, 11b) made from insulating material, for placing the connector onto the feeder cable and connected together by translation using clamping means for clamping said jaws onto the conductors of the feeder cable, and several branching elements (12a, 12b) for connecting the conductors of the feeder cable to the conductors of the branch cable, and including a body, made from insulating material, which has a projecting section (14a, 14b), also made from insulating material, and by which the branching element is designed to engage laterally between the two jaws in order to define a receptacle with each of the adjacent jaws for the insertion of a conductor of the feeder cable, and a metal contact part per receptacle which is partly superposed on said projecting section, and is designed for establishing an electrical connection between this conductor of the feeder cable and a conductor of the branch cable connected to the branching element.
