ABSTRACT:
An improved slotted beam type electrical contact for engaging stranded wire is disclosed. The subject contact includes an insulation displacement feature which obviates the need for stripping the end of wire. It also assures good electrical and mechanical connection with the individual strands of the wire, regardless of the stranding or the lay of the strands, by the arrow head shape of the slot. The beams are retained in contact with the strands of wire by locking legs which, after the engagement of a stranded wire conductor therein, are deformed to prevent subsequent spreading of the beams.
