ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for coupling to an insulated electrical conductor which includes a housing having a housing cover, said housing and cover each having a bore therein, one of which has a tapered portion and the other end of which has a flat end wall, electrical conductive prong, attached to said housing in the bore therein and extending axially into the housing bore for receiving the end of an insulated electrical conductor. Attaching means for attaching the housing cover to the housing. A compression collar having a bore extending axially therethrough for insertion of a wire therethrough and into the housing bore and onto the pointed prong extending thereinto. The compression collar having a flat surface at one end and an angled compression portion at the other end for wedging into the tapered portion of the one bore upon said cover being attached to the housing and being compressed upon driving the collar into the tapered portion of the bore whereby an insulated wire can be rapidly connected to an electrical connector without removing the insulation from the end thereof. The collar can be a one piece polymer member. The housing may have a plurality of bores each provided with a conductive prong and serviced by a corresponding plurality of compression collars for connecting a plurality of electrical conductors in the connector.
