Abstract

The invention relates to a cutting and clamping sleeve contact for contacting a cable wire laterally to the sleeve axis. The sleeve contact exhibits at least one clamping through slot at the periphery of the sleeve and a cutting and clamping contact in the interior of the sleeve. Wall pieces are cut free at the wall of a sleeve. They provide a one-piece sleeve contact suitable to contact cable wires having varying diameters and multi-stranded conductors. The wall pieces are also made of a metal material, and are bent into the interior of the sleeve and form contact legs for forming the cutting/clamping contact.
