Abstract (en)

The invention relates to a preformed contact member (300, 400) for use with an insulation-piercing connector (100), wherein said insulation-piercing connector (100) comprises one or more electrically conductive insulation-piercing means (105a, 108a, 105b, 108b) for piercing an insulation layer (110, 113) of at least one insulated electrical conductor (109, 112) arranged therein, wherein the preformed contact member (300, 400) is electrically conductive and is configured for being provided on said one or more electrically conductive insulation-piercing means (105a, 108a, 105b, 108b), in particular between said one or more electrically conductive insulation-piercing means (105a, 108a, 105b, 108b) and a bare electrical conductor (512) arranged in the insulation-piercing connector (100). Said preformed contact member (300, 400) 2, further comprises one or more electrically conductive contact elements (301, 302), in particular for providing electrical contact between a respective electncally conductive insulation-piercing means (105a, 108a, 105b, 108b) of the one or more electrically conductive insulation-piercing means (105a, 108a, 105b, 108b) and a bare electrical conductor (512) while preventing direct contact therebetween.
