ABSTRACT:
The disclosed connectors include a paired-prong type of terminal which initially supports a plastic-insulated wire across the ends of the prongs at a gap. A driver initially forms incisions in the insulation at opposite sides of the wire. Further operation of the driver forces the wire into the gap, baring areas of the wire at the incisions and then making contact. The terminals are formed of metal strip, first making a slit along an end portion of the strip to form a pair of prongs and then coining a depression in opposed edges of the slit roughly halfway along the slit while confining the prongs against separation more than a prescribed gap distance.
