line and tap line connections the connector could likewise have three slots suitable for making parallel connections between three different continuing sections of cable or for tapping the ends of two sections of cable into one continuing cable since the contacts are sharp pointed pins they pierce the insulation of the cable only in a small area and do not result in substantial damage as in the case of knife like contacts which tend to make a substantial cut into the insulation and even into the stranded cable in some cases for use with conventional twin lead wire such as that used for connecting television antennae to television receivers and frequently for data transmission lines in field operations the pins are located in the base at a specified width extending a specified elevation above the lower portion of the slot this is important so that the pins will pierce the optimum amount of cable in order to make a good electrical connection but without excessively damaging the insulation and conductor it is also important for the purpose of minimizing the amount of force required to push the rod through the base to force the previously inserted cable against the pins varying sizes and types of cable can be used for appropriately sized connectors of this type as long as the cables have substantially parallel running not twisted twin leads the invention enables a person working.
