ABSTRACT:
A method for terminating an electrical conductor, comprises an outset step of defining a housing having an open end and a closed end and at least one passage therethrough for entry of the conductor into the housing to permit a termination end of the conductor to be resident interiorly in the housing. Next, the housing passage is closed and the housing is disposed with the housing open end vertically above the housing closed end. With the housing so disposed, sealant gel is introduced in liquid state interiorly of the housing. While the sealant gel is in the liquid state, there is secured with the housing, through the housing open end, apparatus for subsequent use in terminating the conductor, Upon transition of the sealant gel to a cured state, the housing passage is opened. To complete the conductor terminating method, at the installation site, the conductor is inserted into the housing passage and into registry with the terminating apparatus. One now operates the terminating apparatus to terminate the conductor. An insulation-displacement contact defines first and second beams bounding a conductor-receiving slot, the beams defining respective first and second notched insulation-displacement segments at respective leading and trailing parts thereof which are of triangular configuration having triangle bases aligned with the conductor entry passage.
