ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for coupling to an insulated electrical conductor includes an insulated housing having a bore therein shaped to receive an insulated wire end. An electrically conductive pointed prong is attached in the housing with the pointed prong extending axially within the bore. An electrical conductor is attached to the opposite end of the pointed prong and extends from the housing for conducting an electrical current therethrough. At least one clamp is positioned in the housing extending into the bore towards the pointed prong for clamping onto the wire insulation of an insulated conductor wire inserted into the bore to hold the wire end within the bore. The clamp can be positioned at an angle to allow the easy insertion of the wire end while preventing its removal without the lifting of the clamp. The housing can have a plurality of bores and with therein and the plurality of clamps can be spring loaded with a grip means for releasing each clamp to remove the wire end from the bore.
