ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a solderless electrical wire termination system for multi-contact electrical connectors. The termination portion of each contact element is of an elongated U-shaped configuration having a floor and a pair of side walls. Vertically extending ridges are formed inward from the side walls to define termination means for establishing and maintaining electrical connection between the contact element and the conductor of an inserted wire. The upper portions of the ridges are of a configuration providing smoothly tapered lead-in portions for rupturing the insulation of a wire as the wire is inserted into the channel and for guiding the conductive core to the lower portions of the ridges which are of substantially uniform depth and extend substantially parallel to the side walls to provide a rigid wiping surface for establishing and maintaining reliable uniform electrical contact with the conductor core.
