ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector, especially for making connection to a fine, varnish insulated wire, comprises a terminal and a housing for receiving it. The wire is carried in slots in the housing. The terminal comprises a pair of wire gripping plates which are urged resiliently together in contiguous relationship. As the terminal is inserted into the housing, the plates are initially cammed apart by wedges in the housing so that the wire is received between the plates. Upon full insertion of the terminal, the wedges enter notches in the plates so that the latter resile to grip the wire the insulation of which is pierced by serrations on one of the plates. Frictional wear on the wire is thereby avoided.
