Abstract

A no-crimp electrical connector is essentially comprised of two molded plastic body members. A molded plastic body member has a connection chamber and a threaded wall bounds the connection chamber. A second molded body member has an externally threaded surface threadably engageable with the threaded wall in the first body member. One of the body members has a central conically shaped conductive element, and the other has a throughbore with the throughbore having one end shaped to accommodate two or more wires in side-by-side relation. A second end has complementary conical walls so that the wire ends of the two or more wires are clamped together between the conductive conical shaped element and the conical surface. Slots are provided in one or both body members and form spring fingers to allow pressing and/or relative rotation between the body members.
