Abstract
This connector comprises: a conducting piece which has a slot intended to accommodate the cable to be connected and which is fitted into an insulating casing having an opening allowing insertion of a cable; means allowing the cable to be stripped locally, these means being made on a piece separate from the conducting piece and facing the slot in the latter; and movement means for moving the cable from an insertion position to a connection position in which the cable is in the slot in the conducting piece, the cable passing through the means allowing it to be stripped locally during this movement.

An insulation-displacement connector for an electrical cable consisting of a conducting core and an insulating sheath, which comprises:
- a conducting connection piece which has a slot intended to accommodate the cable to be connected;
- means for stripping the electrical cable locally, wherein the means for stripping the electrical cable locally are produced on a piece which is separate from the conducting piece and face the slot in the conducting piece;
- and
- movement means for moving the cable from an insertion position in which the unstripped electrical cable is inserted into the connector to a connection position in which the cable is in the slot in the conducting piece and in which the core of the cable is in electrical contact with the conducting piece, the cable passing through the means for stripping the electrical cable locally during this movement.
