ABSTRACT:
A connector for making intimate electrical contact with plural insulated conductors of a flat wire cable which includes plural contacts each having a pair of spaced-apart jaw members with insulation piercing and electrical contact portions extending substantially parallel to and on opposite sides of the axis of an associated conductor. Slots in an inner body portion of the connector hold the contacts in two laterally spaced rows on opposite sides of a central cavity. A rigid bar member inserted into the cavity forces the conductors into engagement with the contacts in both rows to first pierce and continuously strip the insulation adjacent a longitudinal portion of each conductor and then position the stripped conductor adjacent the contact portions which thereafter exert a force normal to and make broad flat surface contact with the conductors.
In a preferred form, the inner body portion of the connector is received in an outer body portion which includes a plurality of channels which receive extensions of the contacts so that external access is provided to both the contacts and the conductors.
