Patent ID: 8246378

Claim:
An assembly comprising: an electronic element comprising a first wire and a second wire; a tap connector comprising a connector to be connected to an electronic device, and two connection portions electrically connected to the connector by two conductive wires, respectively; wherein each of the connection portions comprises a first clamping plate defining a first channel, a second clamping plate pivotably connected to a first side of the first clamping plate and defining a second channel, and a conductive blade extending from a sidewall of the first channel of the first clamping plate and electrically connected to a corresponding conductive wire; wherein the first and second channels of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate together form a receiving space to accommodate one of the first wire and the second wire; and wherein the conductive blades of the connection portions are to respectively pierce the first wire and the second wire accommodated in the corresponding receiving spaces to electrically connect the first wire and the second wire to the corresponding conductive wires, such that the electronic device makes use of the signals from the first and second wires.
