ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector primarily designed for use in telecommunications and other applications where quick and reliable wire connections in great magnitude are required is disclosed. The connector has a elongated cylindrical shape with an insulation displacement slot running parallel to its longitudinal axis. It is surrounded by and mounted in a sheltering insulating housing. Adjacent the insulation displacement slot on opposite sides of the conductor are V-shaped or other shaped slots which in combination with the insulation displacement slot, form cantilever beams which act independently of the flexing of the cylinder itself. This creates a modified spring rate in the area where connecting wires are held after they are inserted longitudinally into the insulation displacement slot and moved to a final connection position. Transverse slots on opposite sides of the insulation displacement slot create pairs of independent cantilever beams which are staggered from one another to allow mounting of at least two wires of different cross-sectional diameter.
