Abstract

An electrical connecting device includes a housing having a receiving channel that receives an electrical conductor. A contact element is seated in the housing. The contact element has a piercing element extending into the receiving channel that electrically contacts the electrical conductor. At least a portion of the housing and at least a portion of the electrical conductor in electrical contact with the piercing element are substantially surrounded by a common sheath made of a non-conductive material that forms a uniform bond with the housing and the electrical conductor.
