ABSTRACT:
A electrical connector for coupling to an electrical cable of the type having individual sheathed conductors without having to remove the sheathing. The electrical connector includes a base housing member that is couplable to a power source. Coupling assemblies mounted in the base housing member make electrical contact with a conductive member within sheathed conductors of an electrical cable. Each of the coupling assemblies comprises a top member and a bottom member which are pivotally coupled at one end. A set of piercing members mounted in the bottom member in a staggered pattern protrude through the sheathing and contact the conductive member when the top member is depressed down. The top member has bores which receiver the piercing members to ensure a good electrical contact. A strain relief assembly restricts outward movement of the electrical cable from the base housing member. A cover housing member is removably mountable on the base housing member for selectively enclosing the interior. A locking member selectively couples the housing members together.
