DEFINITION

Classification: 439/395

Having slot edge for cutting insulation:

(under subclass 391) Electrical connector wherein the penetrating contact is a platelike conductive body having a first margin provided with a notch or opening therein such that the stranded conductor when moved to a certain position within the notch or opening is passively urged against the first margin by a second margin with sufficient force to penetrate the casing and make electrical contact with the stranded conductor.

(1) Note. Penetration may be made by both the first margin and the second margin.
