ABSTRACT:
An electrical terminal is disclosed for use in the insulation displacing termination of conductors having substantially any center spacing. The terminal is provided with two spaced apart and substantially parallel side beam members which define a conductor receiving channel therebetween. Each side beam has at least one insulation piercing extension perpendicularly formed therefrom to extend into the channel toward a corresponding extension formed from the opposite side beam. As the conductor is moved laterally of its axis and into the channel, the edges of the corresponding insulation piercing extensions serve to pierce the insulative covering of the conductor and establish electrical and mechanical contact between the terminal and the conductor. Termination tooling for use in terminating the conductor is also disclosed and includes a pressing bar, and a block having supportive means for reinforcing the terminal side beams during the termination procedure.
