ABSTRACT:
A positive quick connect electrical connector for connecting the bare ends of a pair of electrical wires is constituted by a molded non-conductive female coupling member having a connection chamber therein and threaded walls. A metal connector member is secured to an end of one of the pair of electrical wires, the metal connector member being positioned in the connection chamber and having a conically-shaped end surface to provide a wire guiding and engaging surface for the bare end of the other of the pair of electrical wires. A non-conductive male coupling member has a bore therethrough. A first end of the bore has a conically-shaped annular wall which is complementary to the conically-shaped end surface on the metal connector member. The conically-shaped surfaces are spaced a variable distance S apart, and a threaded external surface on the male coupling member is in threaded engagement with the threaded internal bore in the female coupling member, whereby a bare end of the other of the pair of wires introduced into the bore of male coupling member is guided off axis by the conically-shaped end surface of the metal connector to a position between said spaced conical surfaces, and rotation of one of said members relative to the other engages threads to reduce the distance to clamp the bare end of said other of said pair of wires between the conical surfaces.
