ABSTRACT:
An electrical wire connector comprising a connector body; a spring contact having two leaf springs, with each of the leaf springs having a free end resiliently biased to engage the free end of the other leaf spring; a slide release having an approximate T-shape and further having a central axis portion capable of being slidably inserted between the resiliently biased free ends of the leaf springs; and a mateable connector cap. The slide release is manually operable to move the free ends of the spring contact between an engaged configuration and a disengaged configuration. When the free ends of the spring contact are in a disengaged configuration, a conductive wire having a stripped end may be positioned therebetween. Manual operation of the slide release moves free ends of the spring contact into an engaged configuration thereby applying a clamping force to the stripped conductive wire tip positioned therebetween.
