Abstract
An electrical connection box,containing at least one generally planar base insulative plate,having two flat surfaces. There is at least one busbar,on or adjacent the first surface which is capable of electrical contact with a plurality of insulated wires,The busbar has one or more pressure connection sections,which include a pair of blades,which cut through the insulation on the wires,and make electrical contact therewith. The insulated wires are straight, parallel to each other, and are located in the wire concentration section,which is on or adjacent the second surface of the base insulative plate,The wire concentration section,and the pressure connection section,are in register with each other and openings,are provided in the base insulative plate through which the blades,can project. Thus, when pressure is exerted on the blades,or on the insulated wires,the blades cut through the insulation on the wires, forming an electrical contact between the busbar,and the wires,in a single operation. It is unnecessary to insert the wires one at a time. This provides increased ease of assembly, reduces costs, and provides secure and reliable connections.
