Patent ID: 8011949

Claim:
Connector to be mounted on a multiple conductor cable and comprising at least one comb, a connection terminal block, self-stripping electric contacts and assembling means, the comb being passed through by a central duct to allow the cable to pass along a longitudinal axis and displaying, on a first front face, notches arranged about the central duct and wherein each is designed to hold a corresponding insulated conductor of the cable, the terminal block having a plurality of metal contacts, being suitable for receiving a multiple conductor detachable plug, and comprising a second front face which, in the mounted configuration of the connector, is adjacent to the first front face, and an axial housing, opposite the second front face, serving as a receptacle for the detachable plug, each of the self-stripping electric contacts being suitable for receiving and stripping, during a connector mounting phase, a corresponding insulation conductor of the cable by means of a relative movement of said conductor and said contact, and the assembling means providing, in the mounted configuration of the connector, a reversible attachment of the comb and the terminal block on each other, characterized in that each self-stripping contact is on the first front face of the comb and associated with a corresponding notch to simultaneously enable the introduction of each insulated conductor into a notch and the engagement thereof in the self-stripping contact associated with said notch, and in that, at least in the mounted configuration of the connector, each self-stripping contact is connected electrically to a corresponding metal contact of the terminal block.
