ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is encapsulated with a uniform thickness of a transparent insulating material, preferably a clear PVC. The transparent insulating covering permits visual inspection of wires inserted into the connector before tightening the set screws to insure proper installation of the wire. Clarity of the insulating material over the entire connector is achieved by using the injection molding process, which also results in a uniform thickness of the insulating material over the body of the connector as well as cylindrical extensions for the wire and set screw openings.
