Connector device for a group of insulated conductors

Claim 1

A connector for a group of insulated conductors, comprised of a casing of insulating material, said casing having an entrance for a cable enclosing the conductors and including a plurality of side-by-side tubular channels, each channel for receiving one of the corresponding conductors; said casing having a series of parallel slots, each slot aligned and assigned to one of said tubular channels, connecting one outer side of the casing and the channels; said casing also including contact plates adapted to be plugged from outside said casing, through the slots, until they contact the conductors inserted into their respective tubular channels; said plates each arranged in parallel to one of said channels; said contact plates having hooks at its edges running at right angles to the tubular channels to anchor the plates to the casing; each contact plate having three contact teeth distributed along an edge of said plate at a channel-side of said plate whose tips are offset laterally with regard to each other by bevelling said tips such; said contact plates resting on a plastic component by means of heels between the contact plates and intermediate strips, which intermediate strips follow a curved path through a chamber of said plastic component; said plastic component fitting into said casing on its slotted side; tongue-shaped contact strips plugged into said component from the side adjoining the casing; said contact strips lying in an plane parallel to the contact plates and being joined with the contact plates into a one piece manner by means of an intermediate strip, of less width than the contact plates and the contact strips.
