ABSTRACT:
A connector junction block of flat thin design is adapted for connection with one or more insulated electrical conductors, and includes base and cover members that cooperate to define a chamber, and an operating member that is mounted in the chamber for movement between first and second positions relative to at least one of the base and cover members. One end of the insulated conductor is inserted into the chamber via a first conductor opening contained in the cover member, and extends into a second conductor opening contained in the operating member. The operating member carries an insulation piercing arrangement that is operable when the operating member is displaced toward its second position to pierce the insulation and electrically engage the conductor. In one embodiment, the cover and base member are connected to define a rigid housing within which the operating member is displaced by an external operating tool. In a second embodiment, the operating member is supported in fixed relation by the base member, and the cover member, together with the conductors supported thereby, are displaced relative to the base member and the operating member, thereby to effect.
