  • From DE 44 02 837 C2 is an electrical installation system known that by a ribbon cable and a connector is formed.
  • the ribbon cable contains energy transmission cores arranged essentially in one plane and non-twisted data transmission cores. there should contact the energy and data transmission wires with the connection device without removing the cable jacket by piercing.
  • US-A-3 816 818 describes a ribbon cable connection which contains two clamping bodies, which are shaped so that they have one side of a ribbon cable form-fitting be able to record. These two clamps - the ribbon cable surrounding pressed against each other - can against a contact holder can be pulled so that with the contact holder connected contact tines penetrate the cable insulation and can contact the inner conductor of the cable.
  • the invention has for its object a device to contact an electrical line specify the a simple way to safely contact the electrical Cable also allows for higher currents.
