摘要:
A cable assembly (10) made up a plurality of co-planar individual coaxial cables, each having a signal wire (12) and a coaxial conductive sheath (14) including a ground wire (16) co-planar with the signal wires (12), are terminated by inserting the end of the cable assembly (10) in a housing component (50) which also receives an array of insulation displacement contacts (82) supported by another housing component (70) along an axis transverse to the plane of the cable assembly. Each signal wire (12) and each ground wire (16) is then electrically contacted by a respective one of the insulation displacement contacts (82a, 82b). The cable assembly is secured to the first housing (50) which is also secured to the other housing component (70).
摘要:
A closure which includes a casing and an insulation dis- placement connector. The casing includes first and second fixed-sized passageways with an insulation displacement connector disposed within each of the passageways. The connector includes a pair of spaced-apart walls each having at least one slot therein for receiving a wire. The slots in each pair of spaced-apart walls are laterally offset from one another.

An insulation displacement contact (IDC) terminal comprises an IDC slot defined by a pair of arms. A ridge is formed on the inner surface of each of the arms. In the IDC terminal of the particular construction, the arms are thinner in the edge portion than in the remaining structure, making it possible to reduce the total stress on to the arms.
摘要:
An electrical connector having a hollow cylindrical contact element (9) with two circumferential wire connecting slots (11, 49). A cap (31) rotatable about the contact element and has a transverse channel (33) for receiving an insulated wire end to carry it into a first of the wire connecting slots (11) upon rotation of the cap. A tubular sleeve (45) is also rotatable about the contact element and has a transverse channel (47) for receiving an insulated wire end to carry it into the second wire connecting slot (49) upon rotation of the tubular sleeve. A locking mechanism (63, 65) locks the tubular sleeve after rotation to its wire connecting position.

A flat multiconductor cable power distribution system has a discrete wire multi-phase feeder, a main flat cable having at least four conductors, the cable being connected to the feeder to have plural phase energization. An insulation-piercing adapter overlies and is connected to the main cable and is energized with a selective one of the plural phases. In a particular arrangement, a secondary multiconductor cable is connected to the main cable by the adapter. A power outlet may be electrically connected to the secondary cable at the juncture of the main and secondary cables and the adapter.
摘要:
A connector for connecting at least two insulated conductors, for example telephone line conductors, comprises a hollow body and a hollow cap, the cap, in a typical example fitting into the body to form an enclosure. The front of the body has apertures and guides for admission and guidance of conductors thereinto and the cap has insulation displacing terminals set in a top web. When body and cap are pressed together the terminals make contact with the conductive cores of the conductors. Terminal arrangements permit of butt, bridge and tap connections. A modified form of body permits a tap to be made to a continuous conductor. The cap and body can be provided in a partially assembled or first stage assembly which permits insertion of conductors, the cap and body then being pressed to a fully assembled or second stage assembly for connection of the conductors.
摘要:
An insulation piercing contact (100, 900) for making electrical and mechanical engagement with an associated insulated conductor wire (300), characterized in that it comprises a first sleeve (510, 920), a second sleeve (520, 960) having a wire receiving end (522, 962), the second sleeve being telescopically interfittable with and slidably disposed relative to the first sleeve for axial movement between first and second positions which define electrically unconnected and electrically interconnected positions respectively with the wire, and a deflectable cantilever arm (600,941) extending from said second sleeve, said cantilever arm having a pointed end (700, 970) to pierce through the insulation of the wire inserted into the second sleeve, the first sleeve of said telescoped sleeves having a cam (515,961) disposed to urge against and deflect the cantilever arm and pointed end into wire (300) when the second sleeve slides between the two axial positions.
