ABSTRACT:
The cable connector for making an electrical contact with a cable (1) having a cable conductor (2), comprises a guiding means (4) for receiving one end (1a) of the cable (1) in an initial state (O), a contact element (6) for electrically contacting the cable conductor (2) in a final state, and a holding means (18) for holding the cable (1) in electrical contact with the contact element (6) in the final state, wherein the guiding means (4) and the contact element (6) are moveable relative to each other, allowing for movements between the initial state (O) and the final state. A spring device (7) is provided, which is arranged such that it exerts a force against the movement from the initial state (O) to the final state, and which moves the cable (1) towards the initial state (O) if the cable is not in the final state. A contact ensuring mechanism (8) can be provided, which in the final state reduces the force exerted by the spring device (7) against the movement from the initial state (O) to the final state. The cable connector can, e.g., be used as an insulation displacement connector and in connector terminal blocks.
