Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015082674A2] An electrical connector for mechanically and electrically connecting first and second cables, each including an elongate electrical conductor covered by an insulation layer, includes a connector body, an electrically conductive first insulation piercing feature on the connector body, an electrically conductive second insulation piercing feature on the connector body and electrically connected to the first insulation piercing feature, and a compression mechanism. The first insulation piercing feature is configured to pierce through the first insulation layer and electrically engage the first electrical conductor. The second insulation piercing feature is configured to pierce through the second insulation layer and electrically engage the second electrical conductor. The compression mechanism is configured and operable to apply a clamping load along a clamping axis extending through both of the first and second electrical conductors to force the first and second insulation piercing features into electrical engagement with the first and second electrical conductors, respectively.
