ABSTRACT:
An electrical connecting means for establishing contact between a terminal and a relatively fine wire having a thin film of varnish-type insulation thereon comprises a plastic housing having a terminal-receiving surface and a terminal-receiving cavity extending into the terminal-receiving surface. A wire-admitting slot means in opposite sidewalls of the housing communicates with the cavity so that the wire can be positioned in the cavity with its axis extending transversely across the cavity. A wire supporting ledge is provided on one internal wall of the cavity which serves as a stop for the wire. The terminal is dimensioned to have a force fit in the cavity and has insulation penetrating and contact surface portions which move past the wire when the terminal is inserted. The insulation penetrating portions penetrate the insulation and the contact surface portions establish contact with the wire. The ledge supports the wire against movement into the cavity as the terminal is inserted.
