Abstract

An electrical connector includes at least one contact element (11) for electrically connecting to a data line. The contact element (11) has at one end a contact portion (13), and at the opposing end a conductor terminating portion (15) which has at least two crimping portions (17,19). The crimping portions are used to terminate respective electrical conductors (51,53). The configuration of the crimping portions allow the respective electrical conductors to be terminated to the crimping portions through the use of high speed automated equipment.
