ABSTRACT:
A connector for electrically joining insulated conductors without removing the insulation therefrom. The connector is generally channel-shaped having a web with opposed, spaced apart side walls extending therefrom, and includes an electrically conductive inner portion, ultrasonically bonded to an electrically insulative outer portion. Rows of conductor engaging protuberances are disposed transversely on the side walls, each of said rows having a plurality of protuberances with a spacing between adjacent edges thereof, for receiving one of the conductors therebetween. Said spacing is smaller than the width of a conductor and is graduated such that the spacing gradationally decreases in width from those rows adjacent the connector ends to those rows intermediate of said connector. The connector, which is preferably formed with other identical connectors in elongated strips for use with automatic crimping machines, receives conductors between the walls thereof and, in response to crushing force applied thereon, the protuberances penetrate the insulation and engage the conductor to hold same and make electrical contact therewith.
