ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates generally to electrical connectors for accommodating insulated conductors and more particularly to improvements in clip type connectors adapted to penetrate or strip the conductor insulation and thereafter establish contact with the conductor wire as for example to provide positive grounding of a wire to an appliance panel at any position along the length of the wire. The connector disclosed herein includes a pair of adjacently positioned arms or blades bent upwardly from the margin of a sheet metal base. The outer extremities of the spaced edges of the blades are flared to facilitate initial reception of an insulated conductor and present oppositely disposed insulation penetrating means or cutters. The outer extremities of the blades are relatively offset laterally and means is provided for mounting the connector or clip upon the edge of a panel.
