The embodiment of the invention disclosed herein is directed to a clip terminal and applicator tool combination which allows rapid application of a plurality of insulated wires to clip terminals formed on terminal strips used for electrical connection to removable printed circuit boards or the like. The clip terminal has a notch formed at the upper end thereof and an aperture spaced below the notch, the notch and aperture are communicated with one another by means of a slot formed therebetween. The notch includes relatively sharp corner edges immediately preceding the slot. When an insulated conductor is laid over the clip terminal in registry with the notch, an applicator tool is used smartly to urge the insulated wire through the slot, thereby causing the sharp corner edges to strip the insulation from the conductor and bare the wire. The bare portion of the conductor makes electrical contact with the clip terminal. Upon further pressure applied to the applicator tool a cutting device is actuated and cuts the end portion of the conductor. When clip terminals are positioned in transverse pairs the cutting tool separates a single conductor to allow individual paired connections to be made simultaneously. |
