ABSTRACT:
A pigtailed screw on wire connector cap for connecting plural electrical appliances to a single device. The pigtailed screw on wire connector includes a basic screw on wire connector having an insulative cap thereon, and a flexible stranded wire lead extending from the screw on wire connector. The screw on wire connector has a substantially frustoconical cavity with distinct regions having varying diameters which are predominately threaded. The terminal region can have a limited or an extended space with or without any conducting surface. A contiguous region has a narrowed diameter. The next conductive region is conical with the largest diameter proximate to the opening of the cavity. The cylindrical region at the opening is nonconductive. The end of the soft stranded bare wire of the pigtail wire is crimped with a conductive sleeve and inserted into the terminal region where it is effectively confined during the subsequent twisting procedure. The load bearing wire is aligned with the pigtail wire proximate to the crimped sleeve, and splicing connection is made by twisting the cap to form a solid and dependable electrical connection between the pigtail wire and the load bearing wire. Various terminal connections can be attached to the pigtail wire to be compatible with the available connection.
