Connection method and cable connector

Abstract

A cable connector ( ) with a connection device ( ) which is connected to a first conductor cable with a linking device ( ) in a housing ( ) used for insertion of a connection area ( ) which is free of cable insulation ( ) of a second cable ( ) and for electrically connecting the first cable with the second cable ( ) wherein the connecting device ( ) and the linking device ( ) are aligned so that the first cable and the second cable ( ) are connected, preferably approximately rectangular to one another. In order to easily connect the first cable with the second cable ( ), to a bipartite housing is provided having a lower housing part ( ) and an upper housing part. In the lower housing part ( ), there are a plurality of grooves ( ) for the uptake of the wires ( ) of the second cable ( ), at least a part of the grooves ( ) being oblique to the longitudinal axis (L) of the housing ( ). Knife-switch prongs ( ) are provided which have one of their ends directed toward the grooves ( ) and are provided for cutting through the wire insulation and for connection to conductors in the second cable ( ), the knife-switch prongs ( ) being connectable to the conductors in the first cable with their second end.
