ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector and method for coupling an electrical conductor thereto has a conductor housing having at least one bore therein and an electrical conductive prong mounted in the housing bore. An electrical conductor gripping collar is positioned in each conductor housing bore with gripping fingers extending from the housing bore. A collar driving member or collar ring has an opening therein to receive an insulated electric conductor which extends therethrough, and through the gripping collar into the housing bore end onto the electrical conductive prong and to engage the extended and of the gripping collar. The collar driving member is used to push the gripping collar further into the housing bore to force the gripping fingers of the gripping collar onto the electrical conductor's insulation. The collar driving member is then fastened to the connector housing to couple the electrical conductor to the electrical connector. The housing can have a plurality of bores therein each having a gripping collar attached thereto driven by a single collar driving member having a plurality of openings therethrough for a plurality of electrical conductors.
