Insulating piercing connectors consist of a body made from a durable and electrically insulating material, such as high-grade polymer or elastomer. The body usually contains a piercing mechanism, often made of metal, designed to penetrate the insulation of the main conductor.

The piercing mechanism is typically located within the connector’s body and is activated when the connector is installed onto the main conductor. It may involve one or multiple sharp-edged blades or teeth that pierce through the insulation to make contact with the conductor inside.

To install an insulating piercing connector, the connector is positioned over the main conductor at the desired tapping point. Pressure is then applied, either manually or with a specialized tool, to engage the piercing mechanism and penetrate the insulation. This creates a secure electrical connection with the conductor inside.

One of the key features of insulating piercing connectors is their ability to maintain electrical insulation even after making the connection. The connector’s body is designed to provide insulation between the main conductor and any branch conductors or equipment connected to it.

Many insulating piercing connectors include sealing features to protect the connection from environmental factors such as moisture, dust, and corrosion. This may involve the use of sealing compounds, gels, or compression seals within the connector’s body.

Insulating piercing connectors are commonly used in low-voltage electrical distribution systems, street lighting networks, telecommunications infrastructure, and other similar applications where branch connections need to be made quickly and reliably without interrupting the main circuit.

Overall, insulating piercing connectors offer a convenient and efficient solution for creating secure and insulated branch connections in electrical systems, reducing installation time and ensuring reliable performance in various environments.
