ABSTRACT:
A solderless electrical connector is provided for use in interconnecting a plurality of insulated electrical conductors, i.e., each having an insulation covering or cover. The connector includes a housing of dielectric material having a plurality of spaced pockets, each pocket having an entry opposite a base thereof. Disposed within each pocket is an electrical contact element which has a mating portion and a plurality of termination portions. Each termination portion is provided with jaw means which form a pair of narrow passages into which a segment of a conductor is positioned. When the conductor segment is positioned within the narrow passages the insulation cover is ruptured by the jaw means and electrical contact is made. Each termination portion is also provided with conductor-restraining means which is disposed adjacent the jaw means. The restraining means frictionally engages a portion of the insulation covering adjacent the conductor segment and retains the latter within the narrow passages of the termination portion.
