ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly (10), having one or more electrical contacts (110) mounted therein, each contact (110) including a forward mating end (112) and a rear portion (114) adapted to mate with an insulated electrical conductor (210) without requiring the preparation of the insulated electrical conductor (210) by removal of the external insulation (212). The electrical contact in the assembly includes a plurality of fine, axially aligned wires (114) at the rear portion of the contact, with each wire having an acutely angled end portion (118). The acutely angled end portions of the fine wires project through the insulation (212) of the insulated electrical conductor (210) into the central conductor (214) to provide an electrical connection between the central (metallic) conductor (214) which is located proximate to, and transverse of, the axially aligned wires. Preferably, the contact is mounted to a first housing (100) and the insulated electrical conductor (210) is mounted to a second housing (300) and means (150, 160, 350, 360) are provided to guide and secure said first and second housings together in proper alignment. Such housings may provide protection for the circuit connection between the contact wires (114) and the insulated conductor (210) and provide strain relief for the insulated conductor (210).
