ABSTRACT:
A slotted beam contact element (10, 110), which can penetrate insulation (224) surrounding a conductor (202), includes cutting edges (44, 136) and snagging surfaces (42, 134) disposed along a substantially V-shaped entrance (18, 118) to a wire-gripping slot (20, 120) at a location remote from a mouth (32, 128) to the wire-gripping slot. The cutting edges and snagging surfaces are capable of removing outer portions (229) of the insulation so that insulation-penetrating means (56, 127) in the region of the wire-gripping slot can penetrate the remaining insulation to establish electrical contact between the conductor and the contact element.
