An insulation and oxide piercing connector employable, for example, for simultaneously interconnecting a plurality of insulated or oxide coated electrical conductors such as magnet wire, flat conductor, or the like, and comprising a plurality of selectively contoured, multi-surfaced, deflectable ridges suitable oriented on at least one interior surface of the connector and proportioned to engage, pierce, and be deflectably locked within the conductors as the connector is crimped thereabout. The ridges may be either straight or curved and formed to cross-sectionally define, alternatively, a generally truncated right triangle, or selective variations thereof, and may be juxtapositionally arranged in either similarly or oppositely facing groups or pairs. Coupling means may be provided for attaching the connector to a further connector or support member. |
