ABSTRACT:
Cable tap assembly for selectively connecting tap conductors to cable wire conductors comprises a housing having a cable wire locator for locating the cable wires in predetermined coplanar positions. A plurality of bus conductors are provided in the housing and extend parallel to the cable wires with each bus conductor being dedicated to, and associated with, a single cable wire. The bus conductors have receptacle sites which are accessible from the exterior of the housing so that terminals can be mated with the bus conductors. Connecting devices extend from the bus conductors to the cable wires. Connecting devices for use with power wires have parallel legs with quick disconnect ears on the edge of one leg adjacent the center of the terminal and aligned insulation displacement slots in the ends of each leg forming parallel current carrying paths.
