Insulation-piercing connectors are designed to be connected to the conductor of an insulated wire by a connection process
which forces a blade or blades through the insulation, removing the need to strip the wire before connecting.
Such connections are usually seen in low current applications such as telecoms, networking and signal connections
between parts of an electronic or computer system. When properly made, the connector blade cold-welds to the wire,
making a highly reliable gas-tight connection.
