Abstract
A double-ended electrical connecting device for connecting two wires to each other is generally U-shaped and comprises a web and sidewalls. The sidewalls are reversely bent inwardly towards each other and towards the web so that a double thickness of metal is provided in the upper portions of the sidewalls which are remote from the web. A wire-receiving opening is provided in the web and this opening merges with wire-receiving slots extending partially along the sidewalls. Additional wire-receiving slots extend inwardly from the upper free edges of the sidewalls through portions of the double thicknesses of metal. One wire is moved laterally of its axis and into each of the slots electrically to connect both wires to the connecting device and to each other.
