Abstract
The self-stripping electrical terminal includes a casing in which a conductive connector member in form of a U-shaped profile as well as two contact members are located which are pivotable in latter about pivot axes. The conductors which are to be mounted to the terminal can be inserted through lateral openings in the casing into the connector member. Each contact member includes at a radial distance from its pivot axis forked contact parts projecting approximately in the direction of the circle described by the pivoting movement, which contact parts cooperate to cut the insulation of a wire during their pivoting movement and simultaneously push the insulation away and come into the desired conductive contact with the wire.
