ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly having one-piece intermediate member (24, 24') and method of forming thereof are disclosed. In one embodiment, the one-piece intermediate member (24, 24') includes insulation-piercing serrations that provide for electrical conductivity between two electrical conductors. In another embodiment, the one-piece intermediate member (24, 24') provides for electrical conductivity between an insulated conductor and an uninsulated conductor. Intermediate member (24) includes movable sections (41) located inwardly from cable-engaging sections (40), with piercing serrations (46) extendable outward through slots (48) of the cable-engaging sections so as to penetrate the cables' insulation. In another embodiment, the electrical conductivity between the two electrical conductors is provided by a C-shaped receptacle element of the connector assembly. In all embodiments, the piercing serrations rigidly fix the electrical connection of the electrical conductors.
