Abstract
A connector for locate wires employs a platform which has a plurality of angularly spaced wire apertures. A conductive wire stripper member has a plurality of slots corresponding to said apertures and is angularly positionable between closed and open positions. Locate wires may be connected by inserting the wires into the apertures when the wire member is in an open position and electrically connected by angularly pivoting the conductive member to the closed position. A ground connector provides a ground connection for the connector to ground the locate wires.
