ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for providing an insulation displaced connection between first and second insulated electrical wires includes a base and a cap. The base includes a body having at least one groove and a first electrical wire partially embedded in the body. A terminal pin on the end of the first wire extends into and is partially exposed within that groove. A second insulated wire is positioned in and extends through the groove, and the cap is positioned around part of that second wire adjacent the body. The cap is then matingly slid along the base, with a cam surface on the cap slidingly contacting the second wire to force that wire into an insulation displaced connection with the terminal pin on the first wire. When the cap is fully received on the base, the electrical connection is complete without any hand tools being used. The base may have plural grooves and the cap may have plural camming surfaces aligned therewith to allow plural electrical connections to be made by assembling the cap onto the base.
