ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector attached to the end of a wire and for releasable engagement with an electrically conductive cylindrical pin at the end of a fixture-mounted fluorescent tube comprises an insulating handle on which is mounted a resilient metal electrically conductive plate. The plate includes a barbed portion which fits into a slot in the handle thereby securing the plate to the handle. The wire is frictionally secured to the barbed portion of the plate within the slot. The plate also includes an outer portion having coplanar prongs on opposite sides of a narrow-throated pin-receiving and engaging aperture which extends inwardly from an outer edge of the plate. The prong edges bordering the aperture make electrical contact with the pin. A slit extending from the aperture and between the prongs facilitates temporary displacement of the resilient prongs from their common plane in opposite directions to enable widening of the aperture throat sufficiently to accommodate pin passage.
