Cutting terminal-contact element.

摘要

The electrical blade contact element is produced as a metal pressing from thin sheet material. The contact is produced with a narrow centre slot (4) that has a width marginally smaller than the diameter of the wire core (7). The general form of the unit is `U' shaped such that the insulated core can be pressed into the slot from the open end. The arms deflect slightly and the insulation is penetrated to make contact with the wire. An alternative version has the end edge, but with sufficient space to insert the wire. A number of variations are possible.
