Insulation displacement connection device and insulator element for

Abstract

An insulation displacement connection device for coaxial cables includes a conductive housing having a cable connection stub and a device for insulation displacement connection of outer and inner cable conductors. The stub has at least one recess formed therein extending crosswise to a center axis and being open toward the outside, for introducing the device. The device cuts through an outer insulating cable sheath and contacts the outer cable conductor upon being plugged into the recess. The device is self-clampingly retained in the recess in a plugged-in state. An insulation displacement connection device for electrically joining a first electrical conductor to a second electrical conductor includes a slit being formed in the first conductor and being constructed and dimensioned with a width being at least partially less than the diameter of the second conductor. A recess is formed in the first conductor and is constructed and dimensioned for permitting the second conductor to be introduced into the recess substantially without resistance. The slit begins at the recess. An insulator element for bracing and centering an inner conductor in an outer conductor includes hollow spaces inside the insulator element and/or between the insulator element and the inner conductor and/or between the insulator element and the outer conductor.
