Abstract

An insulation piercing electrical connector (20) includes a plurality of insulation piercing projections (38) which engage and secure the conductor (14) in compressive electrical contact. The insulation piercing projections (38) extend from resiliently deformable cantilevered contact arms (34) which are deflectable into contact with an insulated wire (14). A plurality of intersecting slots (44) are formed by the insulation piercing projections (38) which compressively secure the conductor (14) therein.
