ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (10) for terminating pairs of conductors (27, 28) on individual single electrical, insulation piercing contacts (14). The connector (10) is formed as two housing halves (11, 12) fitted to a central spacer member (13) to which both are locked. The contacts (14) are mounted in the housing halves (11, 12) and each presents at one end a conventional terminal pin receptacle comprising a pair of opposing blades (15, 16). Toward its other end each contact (14) is formed to present a pair of inverted "U" shaped members (18, 19) which are slotted to accomplish the conductor insulation piercing function. The members (18, 19), although equally spaced on the contacts (14), are staggered in their positions on the contacts (14) with respect to both adjacent contacts within a housing half (11, 12) and adjacent contacts between the housing halves (11, 12). As a result, when the latter elements are assembled, an insulation piercing member (18) of one housing half (11 ) will extend between the pair of members (18, 19) of the other housing half (12).
