ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates to electrical contact members employing insulation opening or penetrating means which are enabled to complete electrical connections when an insulated conductor is installed in the contact member. In the prior art, insulation opening slots terminate in an open extremity at one end of the contact and the insu- lated conductor is introduced through that open extremity. There is no provision in this prior art for admitting the insulated conductor through the wall of the contact and no way in which the conductor may be twisted around the slot and through the contact. Other prior art connectors suffer from being formed of two or more distinct parts. The present invention overcomes these problems by provid- ing an electrical contact member formed from an axially extended tube having intermediate its ends an axially extending insulation-opening slot. The slot is terminated at one end in an entry opening through the tube. The entry opening and an inwardly tapered entry ramp are formed by a free-ended piece of the tube wall bent into the inner opening of the tube. The tube at a section apart from the slot may be crimped to secure the conductor after the conductor is positioned in the slot. A contact member or plurality of contact members may be assembled with insulating means to form a connector.
