Abstract
An electrical connector and method of making an electrical connection wherein the connector includes a housing having an upper portion and a lower portion rotatable relative to each other, a chamber, a cavity configured to receive a first wire, and a first conductive member positioned within the chamber. The first conductive member is configured to extend into the cavity and establish electrical contact with a conductor of the first wire upon rotation of the upper housing portion relative to the lower housing portion. A second conductive member can be electrically coupled to a conductor of a second wire. The second conductive member is also electrically coupled to the first conductive member such that electrical conductivity can thus be established between the conductor of the first wire and the conductor of the second wire.
