ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector which is capable of being used to interconnect insulated conductors (21--21) the field or in a factory during in-line processing includes a base (22) and contact element (24). The contact element which is used to establish an electrical connection between the conductors includes a center (24) portion and two opposed bifurcated beams. A portion of each beam is upstanding from the plane of the contact element. Furcations of each beam define a slot (47) for receiving one of the conductors to be interconnected. The contact element is attached to the base which includes at least one deformable tang (31) at each end. End portions of conductors to be connected are each positioned across an end of the base. The tangs are wrapped about the conductors, the conductors are moved into the slots of the beams, and excess portions of the lengths severed. The tang at each end cooperates with an offset portion (33) of the base which is interposed between the tang and the upstanding portion of the adjacent bifurcated beam to mechanically secure the conductor at that end and provide strain therefor.
