Abstract
Connector for connecting pairs of wires to each other comprises an insulating housing having oppositely directed wire-receiving ends. An electrical connecting device is mounted in each of the ends and wire admitting slots extend from each end partially across one wall of the housing. Corresponding wires of two pairs of wires are connected to each other by moving the wires laterally of their axes towards the wire-receiving ends, through the wire admitting slots, and into the connecting means. A plurality of such connectors are mounted on a continuous carrier strip which can be fed through a semi-automatic wire insertion apparatus. An alternative embodiment is disclosed for connecting a pair of tap wires to a pair of through wires.
