Abstract
An electrical cable connector comprises at least two insulative material jaw members adapted to define between them at least two parallel channels, one for each cable. At least one metal contact member is carried by one of the jaw members in a housing in which it is at least partially accommodated. It has active parts at the front adapted to intersect both channels. Clamping means close the jaw members so as to close the channels onto the cables. Insulative material seals are disposed around the respective active parts of the contact member and linked by a crosspiece. The crosspiece is secured by deformation to the respective jaw member so that it is fastened thereto. To this end the crosspiece is disposed between two ribs which are one piece with the jaw member and are deformed under pressure into a U-shape pressing against the crosspiece.
