Abstract

A connector for connecting sheathed electric wire (19) to a metal connector part (1) having a wire-stripping slot (2) and held fixedly in a housing in a body of insulating material (11) having a wire-passing opening running along the slot (2). The connector part includes a transverse cavity (10) disposed inside the housing, behind the slot (2) and facing the slot in such a manner as to serve as a fixed bearing point for an end piece (20) on the blade of a tool (17) which is used as a lever for inserting a wire into the slot and into the wire-passing opening by applying force thereto. The invention may be used to provide wire-stripping connections in the housings of electrical appliances.
