  • Wire trimmer
    Patent number: 5961340
    Abstract: A cutting element configured for use in an electrical connector device for cutting two or more wires received by the electrical connector device. The cutting element includes a member having a leading edge, and the leading edge is shaped for nonsimultaneously cutting multiple wires in a single cutting motion. By cutting the wires nonsimultaneously, less force is needed to effect the cutting operation.
