ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for engaging a terminal stud has first and second insulating spring arms each carrying a conductive metal contact with the metal contacts defining through holes for electrically contacting a shank of a terminal stud. The metal contacts normally are in opposed spaced relationship to each other but are superimposed over each other and resiliently biased to their original position when the spring arms are squeezed toward each other by finger pressure. Release of the pressure causes the contacts to grasp the shank of a terminal stud over which the contacts are positioned.
An electrical connector is formed by positioning a preformed end piece over an insulated wire and then molding a plastic connector end in abutting relationship with at least a portion of said preform whereby the molding and forming temperature used does not adversely affect the insulation of said wire.
