Abstract
A connector for forming a series electrical connection between opposing ends of a pair of insulation-covered wires comprises a lower body portion having a longitudinal groove and a pair of upper body portions connected to and superimposable upon the lower body portion. Each of the upper body portions has a longitudinal groove for receiving and maintaining one wire end within the groove in the lower body portion. Each of the upper and lower body portions contain formations for receiving a conductive connecting piece having a pair of opposed blade portions for piercing the insulation to contact each wire end for forming a series connection. Opposing ends of the groove in the lower body portion and the outer ends of the groove in each upper body portion are formed with a thin yieldable wall for resiliently holding each wire end. Complementary means are attached to each body portion for mechanically fastening each upper body portion to the lower body portion to positively maintain proper electrical connection between the opposed wire ends.
