ABSTRACT:
A contact element for establishing an electrical connection between two insulated conductors includes a tubular member having at least one open end and being made of an electrically conductive material. The tubular member includes surfaces that define a slot which extends from the open end and which has a width that is less than the diameter of the conductive elements of the insulated conductors. The tubular member has sufficient stiffness and the slot is configured to cause at least portions of the surfaces that define the slot to nick the conductive element of each of one or more conductors that are moved into and along the slot. Any deflection of the slot surfaces which accompanies the movement of one or more insulated conductors into the slot is substantially negligible. In one embodiment, a portion of the periphery of the tubular member at its open end is coined so that as an insulated conductor is moved into the slot, any portion of it which overhangs the wall is severed by the coined portion; in another, the periphery includes an opening to allow the conductor to extend therethrough.
