ABSTRACT:
An improved insulation piercing contact for use in an electrical connector is provided. The contact is made of a sheet metal stamping, which includes a top portion for making electrical contact with a first conductor, and a bottom portion which includes at least two tines. Each tine is bevelled and has a bottom edge which pierces the insulation of a second conductor and makes contact. The tines may project away from one of the planar surfaces of the contact.
