An insulation-piercing connector interconnects an insulated conductor and a ribbon conductor embedded in an electrically insulating body. It comprises an insulation-piercing contact formed with a contact body and a tapered contact portion, and a housing device. A hole is made through both the electrically insulating body and ribbon conductor, this hole having a larger-diameter hole section and a smaller-diameter hole section separated by an annular abutment surface formed at least in part by one face of the ribbon conductor. The contact body comprises a larger-diameter body section inserted in the larger-diameter hole section, a smaller-diameter body section inserted in the smaller-diameter hole section, and an annular shoulder surface applied to the annular abutment surface to make contact with the ribbon conductor. The tapered contact portion has a threaded shank screwed in an axial threaded hole of the free end of the smaller-diameter body section to secure the tapered contact portion to the contact body. The tapered contact portion pierces the insulation of the insulated conductor to make contact with this conductor, and the housing device holds the tapered contact portion in contact with the insulated conductor to thereby establish an electrical connection between the insulated conductor and the ribbon conductor through the insulation-piercing contact.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. An insulation-piercing contact for connecting an insulated conductor with a ribbon conductor embedded in an electrically insulating body, and for insertion in a hole made through both the electrically insulating body and ribbon conductor and having a larger-diameter hole section and a smaller-diameter hole section separated by an annular abutment surface formed at least in part by one face of the ribbon conductor, said insulation-piercing contact comprising:a contact body comprising a larger-diameter body section for insertion in the larger-diameter hole section, a smaller-diameter body section for insertion in said smaller-diameter hole section, and an annular shoulder surface for application to said annular abutment surface to make contact with said ribbon conductor, said smaller-diameter body section having a free end;a tapered contact portion for piercing the insulation of the insulated conductor to make contact with said conductor; andmeans for securing the tapered contact portion to the free end of the smaller-diameter body section.
