An insulation-displacement connector allows for quick and easy installation of the safety switch. Selectively sharpened blades force their way through conductor insulation, bypassing the need to strip the conductors before connecting. When properly in place, the connector blade cold-welds to the conductor to form a reliable, gas-tight connection.
