Abstract
A device is disclosed for use in a wiring system for connecting conventional components, such as duplex outlets or switches, to the system. In such a wiring system insulated conductors in jacketed cables are strung about a construction and are confined within hollow walls thereof. Access to the cables is by defined apertures in wall boards with the device making an insulation displacing engagement with the conductors of the cable. The subject devices include improved terminals and cover for use in such a device to make an improved one or two conductor interconnect as well as improved means for mounting the device on a wall board or the like, a gang mounting version, and further a one piece assembly obviating the necessity for a separate face plate to cover the device and the aperture in the wall board.
