  • Electric connector using elements penetrating the insulation
    Patent number: 6402541
    Abstract: A connector for three cables, each having two electric wires composed of a conductive core surrounded by an insulating sleeve. The connector includes an insulating block provided with as many separate holes as there are wires, the holes each receiving a nonstripped end of an electric wire that is inserted in the recess. The connector has two electrically conductive couplings, having as many terminal parts as electric wires to be connected, each of the terminal parts being shaped to break the insulating sleeve and then enter in conductive electric contact with the conductive core.
