Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2608319A2] An electrical connector (10) has insulation displacement contacts adapted to make electrical connection with respective insulated conductors in a cable (26). The connector (10) includes a passageway (16) for receiving the cable (26) and three cutting edges (28, 30, 32) of respective insulation displacement contacts for cutting into the insulated conductors of the cable to make separate electrical connections thereto when received in the passageway. The cutting edges are aligned longitudinally with the passageway. The electrical connector (10) also includes a movable press (14) located adjacent to the passageway (16) and movable between a first position where it allows access of the cable (26) into the passageway and a second position where it presses against the cable (26) and forces it against the cutting edges (28, 30, 32). This causes the cutting edges to cut through the cable (26) and make separate electrical connections to the conductors in the cable substantially simultaneously and longitudinally with reference to the direction of the cable in the passageway.
