ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector provides an electrical connection to an unstripped end of an insulated electrical cable of the type having an outer sheath within which an insulated hot wire, an insulated neutral wire, and a ground wire are enclosed. The connector has a body formed of an electrically insulating material and a cavity in a first body end sized to receive an unstripped end of the cable. A lid is pivotally connected to the body which is adapted to rotate around an axis of rotation between and open position and a closed position. A hot blade conductor, a neutral blade conductor, and at least one ground blade conductor are positioned in the lid. The blade conductors each have at least one downwardly depending blade and an outlet portion. The blades conductors are spaced apart. When the lid is in open position, the blades do not extend within said cavity. When the lid in a closed, the blades do extend within the cavity and make an electrical connection with the hot, neutral and ground wires of the cable.
