Abstract

An insulation-piercing connector comprises first and second electrically conductive links for connecting first and second insulated cables with respective first and second conductors embedded in the extrusion of at least partially transparent insulating material of an LED light strip. The first link includes a first tapered member for piercing the insulation of the first cable and making contact with the first cable, and a second tapered member 180° apart from the first tapered member for piercing the transparent insulating material and making contact with the first conductor. The second link has a third tapered member for piercing the insulation of the second cable and making contact with the second cable, and a fourth tapered member 180° apart from the third tapered member for piercing the transparent insulating materiel and making contact with the second conductor. Each electrically conductive link comprises a first link portion including the tapered member for piercing the cable insulation and a second link portion including the tapered member for piercing the transparent insulating material. The first and second link portions comprise respective first and second base members through which the first and second link portions connect to each other through a resilient, electrically conductive pad. A housing device holds the different tapered members in contact with the respective cables and conductors.
