ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a structure including a cleat connector for providing an electrical connection between an insulated wire and a bifurcated terminal element of electrically conductive resilient material. The terminal element includes a pair of leaf-spring contact arms lying in a plane and defined by a centrally located slot therein having sharp edges and adjoining an enlarged entry opening. The width of the slot is less than the diameter of the metallic conductor of the wire so that when the wire is pressed into the slot, the wire insulation is cut through, and an electrical connection is established between the wire conductor and the terminal element. A clamping element is associated with the terminal element for gripping the insulated wire.
