ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a cutting/clamping contact (1) for contacting an insulated cable core (5), comprising two contact legs (2, 3) made of a blade-type, resilient metal material, between the inner sides (13, 14; 23, 24) of which an upwardly open contact slot (4) with an enlarged wire introduction section (7) is formed. In order to provide a cutting/clamping contact (1) which allows for contacting cable cores (5) having a thick insulation (6) as well as cable cores having a thin conductive core (12), in particular with a ratio of insulation to conductive core diameter larger than 3, the inner side (13, 14; 23, 24) of at least one contact leg (2, 3) comprises, in the wire introduction section (7) an inclined surface (8, 9) forming a cutting edge (10) directed into the wire introduction section (10).
