Patent ID: 7462060

Claim:
A cable connector comprising a housing made up of at least two components including a first component and a second component which are movable angularly about an axis of rotation with respect to each other so as to come into contact with each other and simultaneously provide for electrically conducting connection, when present therein, of a flat cable having a plurality of bunched conductors with at least one round cable composed of a plurality of bunched conductors, wherein said first component is adapted to receive conductors of the at least one round cable with insulation thereon removed to provide bared conductors laterally separated from each other in a connection section provided inside the first component, and said second component is adapted to receive the flat cable, wherein electrically conducting contacting elements to which the conductors of the round cable connect and which include cutting tips for perforating insulation of the conductors and embedding in strands of the conductors of the flat cable, and a closing lever coupled at a distance from the axis of rotation with the first component, said closing lever having a first end and a second end, said second end being arranged partially inside said first component and including a closing claw which is engagable with a stationary cam on the second component in such a way that the at least first component and second component move in a direction of closing to contact each other for reciprocal closing when the closing lever is actuated by action on said first end and to press the cutting tips into the conductors of the flat cable thereby connecting the flat cable and the round cable together upon actuation of the closing lever.
