Abstract
An instant connector has a synthetic resin housing comprising two blind ducts projecting into the housing from opposite end faces and extending in parallel to each other. A contact blade is arranged in a cavity between the blind ducts. This blade is pivotable about an axis extending in parallel to the end faces and the ends of the blade-project obliquely into the blind ducts. Upon the introduction of wires into the blind ducts, the ends of the contact blade engage these wires. By subsequently pulling the wires apart; i.e., away from each other, the ends of the contact blade burrow through the insulating sheaths of the wires into the wire cores. In this manner, the wires are electrically connected with each other by way of the contact blade.

An instant connector for contacting two electrical wires, which comprises a flat housing exhibiting on two mutually opposed end faces, respectively, one opening of a blind duct for an electrical conductor, the blind ducts being mutually offset in the transverese direction of the housing and extending essentially in parallel to each other;
- the housing comprising a cavity extending transversely between the blind ducts wherein a contact blade is mounted to be pivotable about an axis extending in parallel to the end faces;
- and stops in the housing for limiting the movement of the contact blade in such a way that, in a first end position, the ends of the contact blade project obliquely into the blind ducts in the direction toward closed ends of the ducts and, in a second end position, the contact blade is aligned essentially at a right angle to the blind ducts;
- the ends of the contact blade having v-shaped cutout portions and base zones of the cutout portions of the ends of the contact blade, respectively, terminating in an elongated slot.

- at least one ramp being provided in the cavity onto which runs up an edge of the contact blade during movement into the second end position.
