ABSTRACT:
A cramping device for connecting two wires includes a housing having generally cylindrical slots which are parallel to and spaced apart from each other. A branch wire, terminates in one slot, and a main wire, which extends through the housing, is in the other slot. A retaining hole is provided into which the end portion of the branch wire is placed. Since the hole is at an angle to the slot, the branch wire is bent when the adjacent portion is placed in the slot. The bend assists in retaining the branch wire in its slot when it is forced against a contact which fits transversely across the slots, penetrates the insulation on the wires, and makes electrical contact therebetween. The slots may have narrowed portions near their outer edges to aid in retaining the wires in position. Preferably, a cover is provided which can enclose the housing. The cover and housing can be locked in a partially mounted position and a fully mounted position. In the former case, the pressing section of the cover retains the wires adjacent the upper edges of the slots; in the latter case, it forces the wires into the slots and against the connector to provide the electrical contact.
