Electrical tap connector |
摘要 |
An electrical tap assembly is provided for connecting at least one tap wire to at least one through wire. The assembly includes a dielectric housing body having a wire slot for receiving the tap wire, a through wire passage for receiving the through wire and a terminal-receiving cavity extending in a direction transverse to the wire slot and the through wire passage. A terminal is positionable in the terminal-receiving cavity and includes a first insulation displacement end for connection to the tap wire and a second insulation displacement end for connection to the through wire. The terminal is movably mounted in the cavity for movement between a first position allowing insertion of the tap wire into the wire slot and a second position with the first insulation displacement end terminating the tap wire. A shoulder is provided on the terminal for engagement by an appropriate insertion tool to drive the terminal from its first position to its second position. A dielectric housing closure is mountable on the housing body and is engageable with the through wire in the through wire passage in the housing body for driving the through wire into insulation displacement termination with the second insulation displacement end of the terminal.
