Wire conductors can be securely connected to the internal
fork-shaped contacts of this connector by simply pressing the
connector housing halves together with pliers. It is not
necessary to strip the wires or to use special tools.
• Superior insulation performance
The connector housing provides a highly effective insulation,
and no further insulating operations are necessary.
• Temporary wire holding mechanism
A temporary wire holding mechanism prevents the wire from
moving or being improperly connected during wire connection.
The CL is a low-voltage, insulation
displacement connector that can be
applied using simple tools.
