ABSTRACT The present invention is directed generally to an elec- trical connector including a contact for forming a crimped, insula- tion-piercing electrical connection. Prior art insulation- piercing type connectors have proven unacceptable when used with stranded wire core conductors, because tensile forces applied to the conductors, as well as the cold flow of the insulation sur- rounding the core, causes the individual strands of the wire core to move and reposition within the insulation-piercing contacts causing changes in contact resistance. The present invention overcomes these deficiencies of the prior art by providing an improved connector including a dielectric insert, a plurality of electrical contacts and means providing access to the contacts for effecting the crimped, insulation-piercing termination. The contacts each include a terminal portion with opposed sidewalls mounted within a cavity of the insert, and the access means com- prises a passageway in the insert which accommodates a crimp tool used to deform the sidewalls of the contact terminal and secure the conductors in termination position within the contacts.
