ABSTRACT:
A two member connector to twist connect two ductile wires, releasable coupling means is provided to couple inner ends of the members together, each member has a cavity means including a pair of transversely spaced wire chambers each sized to accept a wire to be joined, the cavity means of at least one member includes a central chamber disposed between the wire chambers of that member and sized to accept two wires when twist connected, a slot connects the central chamber with each of its associated wire chambers and the sides of the slots provide brake surface means; to form a twist connection the two wires are housed in the wire chambers of both members and the members are contra-rotated to bring torque applying and reaction shoulders of each cavity means into contact with the wires to force the wires together and twist connect them, in the formation of the twist connection the wires in the member with the central chamber are drawn into the central chamber from the wire chambers over the brake surface means which applies a braking effect to the wire movement.
