ABSTRACT:
A connector for use with insulated cables comprises an insulating holder for the insertion thereinto of at least one elongate contact pin having a rear portion provided with at least one bendable, wing-like clamping part, projecting at right angles from the rear portion when in a non-clamping position. The clamping part can be bent over against the cable to penetrate its insulation thereby to make electrical contact with a conductor of the cable. For more rapid connection, and to ensure better electrical contact between cable and conductor and contact pin, the clamping part is formed as an apertured clamping lug, the rear portion of the contact pin having at least one projection which is at least partially surrounded by the lug in the clamped position thereof. The lug has at least one cutting edge on its inner perimeter and/or the projection has at least one such edge on its upper perimeter. The lug can be bent into an intermediate position after the contact pin has been inserted into the holder, in which position the lug locks the contact pin in the holder.
