Abstract

For a conductor-connecting element for connecting electrical conductors, in which element contact with electrical conductors is made with the aid of insulation-displacement contacts in the guide ducts of a conductor-guiding part, it is proposed that the conductor-guiding ducts be constructed in a conductor-guiding part in such a way that deflection of the electrical conductors takes place at different levels or sequentially, as a result of which the insulation-displacement contacts make contact with the electrical conductors one after another so that a distinct reduction in the expenditure of force is achieved. An insulation-displacement contact formed to receive electrical conductors with different diameters may be used.
