Abstract:
Various implementations of insulation piercing connectors are disclosed. The insulation piercing connectors include a simple and efficient design for providing electrical tap connections to a power cable for voltage detection purposes. The insulation piercing connector includes at least a top housing and a bottom housing that come together to receive the power cable. Terminal contacts are housed internally within the insulation piercing connector, and the terminal contacts are positioned to pierce the power cable when the insulation piercing connector is assembled into an operational state.
