Abstract
There is provided a bifurcated contact for terminating a pair of insulated conductors. The contact includes a pair of furcations each having first and second interconnected and interdependent resilient elements. Each first element is in the form of a loop extending into a slot formed by the second elements. The first and second elements are on different planes. The first elements include juxtaposed termination surfaces wherein a second conductor may be terminated after the termination of the first conductor without disturbing the integrity of the termination of the first conductor.
