DEFINITION

Classification: 439/401

Contact engages conductor at axial location and engages insulation at second axial location to relieve stress at conductor to terminal joint:

(under subclass 395) Electrical connector wherein the conductive body has a first portion for making electricity transmitting engagement with the strandlike conductor at a first point along its length and has a second portion for engaging the insulative material surrounding the conductor at a location axially displaced from the first point, wherein the engagement with the insulation is for carrying the reactive physical load from the tensile forces of an electricity transmitting suspended conductor or cable to thereby prevent that physical load from being transmitted to the electricity transmitting joint.
