<p>An electrical connector assembly (200) comprises an electrical contact(s) (110) mounted therein, each including a mating portion (112) and an opposite portion (114) adapted to mate with an insulated electrical conductor (210) without requiring the removal of the external insulation. The electrical contact includes a plurality of axially aligned wires (114) at the opposite portion thereof, with each wire having a tapered end (118) which projects through the insulation of conductor (210) to provide an electrical connection therewith, the conductor being locally transverse to the axially aligned wires. Preferably, the contact is mounted to a first housing (100) and the insulated electrical conductor (210) is mounted to a second housing (300) and means are provided to guide and secure said first and second housings together in proper alignment. <IMAGE></p> |
