ABSTRACT:
A contact for a wire tap connector includes a substantially planar insulation displacement portion configured to receive a primary wire and electrically connect thereto, and a poke in wire section integrally formed with and attached to the planar insulation displacement portion. The poke in wire section is configured to accept a prepared connecting wire in one or more positions relative to the insulation displacement portion. When the contact is situated in a housing, a slidable stuffer may be provided to quickly and easily install the connector assembly to a primary run wire.
