ABSTRACT:
A connector assembly in which a W-shaped clip inserted in a housing cavity makes electrical contact to an insulated electrical conductor in the housing. Each leg of the W-shaped clip has a wire receiving slot therein, which extends from the bight of the leg partially up the walls of the leg. Further, the slots in each leg are parallel to one another and are axially aligned with one another, so that as the clip is inserted into the cavity, the wire receiving slots cut through the film type insulation on the conductor to make electrical contact to it. A pair of wire guiding slots in the housing and a wire support platform serve to locate the wire in the cavity for proper positioning to insert the clip. In addition, one of the wire guiding slots is shorter than the other, and cooperates with a wire receiving slot to permit the end of the electrical conductor to be pulled slightly into the cavity when the clip is inserted therein.
