ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector comprises electrical contacts (1) having termination slots (2) for cutting into insulation (4a) of an electrical conductor (4) when electrical conductor (4) is forced into slots (2) with edges of slots (2) electrically engaging conductor core (4b) of electrical conductor (4). An insulated housing (10) has openings (11) for receiving and retaining electrical contacts (1) therein and including conductor-retention grooves (12) opening outwardly for receiving a portion of the electrical conductors (4) therein. Conductor-retention arms (13) are located at an open end of the conductor-retention grooves (12) for retaining electrical conductors (4) therein. Projections (14) are located on the conductor-retention arms (13) for clampingly engaging insulation (4a) of electrical conductors (4) providing an axial strain relief thereon and to prevent shrinkage of the insulation away from the termination between conductors (4) and slots (2).
