Abstract
Insulation penetrating contact of a single piece electrical blade and contact is achieved in a connector of dead front construction by providing a single piece three link insulating housing adapted to fold up in valise fashion about the single piece blade and contact and about a wire extending into the housing. Electrical contact is made as the housing is closed and fastened in close form by forcing a bladed surface of the electrical contact into a channel in which the wire to be contacted is disposed.
