Abstract
An electrical connector for joining conductors is formed by a male plug half and a female receptacle half. Bus strips are positioned on the end of the plug and/or in the bottom of the female receptacle. Stripped wires are inserted into each end of the connector and pass through the bus strips and into the opposite half. Rotation of the male plug along a 'quick connect' path bends the conductors tightly against the bus strips and clamps the wires between the bus strips.
