Abstract:
An insulation displacement connection device for a coaxial cable with an inner cable conductor, an inner insulation surrounding the inner cable conductor, an outer conductor coaxially surrounding the inner cable conductor and the inner insulation, and an outer insulating cable sheath coaxially surrounding the outer conductor, comprising:a conductive housing having a longitudinal axis and being formed with a cable connection stub adapted to receive a coaxial cable along a connection stub axis extending substantially transversely to the longitudinal axis;an insulation displacement connection contact disposed inside said housing for electrically contacting an inner conductor of the coaxial cable inside said housing, and an insulation member insulating the inner conductor and the insulation displacement connection contact from said housing; anda clamping plug formed with cutting zones and adapted to be inserted into at least one opening formed in said cable connection stub crosswise to the connection stub axis for cutting through an outer insulating cable sheath of the coaxial cable crosswise to the coaxial cable and electrically contacting an outer conductor of the coaxial cable with said housing, said at least one opening starting at an outer surface of said conductive housing and extending towards and crosswise to the connection stub axis.
