Abstract

The plug pins (3, 4, 5) of an electric mains plug have insulation-displacement connectors (6) fixed at their top ends. The connectors (6) have downwardly-opening slots forced onto unstripped connecting wires by pushing the pin downwardly relative to the plug base (1). Grooved support plates (8), or bosses (164) integral with the plug base, provide a reaction support and alignment of the wire being connected. The plug may incorporate a magnetically-actuated or thermally-actuated circuit breaker (9). <IMAGE>
