<p>The connector for splicing a plurality of coaxial cables (22, 24, 26) includes a cover (40) and a base (42). The cover has a plurality of U-shaped slots (44) for the receipt of the coaxial cables and an electrically conductive metallic shield connector (46) secured thereto. The metallic shield connector includes a plurality of electrically interconnected, downwardly extending, insulation piercing contacts (48) having cutting edges (50) for cutting through the outer insulating layers (22) of the coaxial cables and for physically and electrically contacting and for electrically interconnecting the metallic shields (32) of the coaxial cables. The base (42) includes an electrically insulating substrate (65) that has an electrically conductive central conductor connector (68) disposed thereon. The central conductor connector includes a plurality of electrically interconnected, upwardly extending, insulation piercing contacts (64) having cutting edges (66) for cutting through the inner insulating layers (30) of the coaxial cables which may be shaped as at 36 and for physically and electrically contacting and electrically interconnecting the central conductors (28) of the coaxial cables.</p> |
