ABSTRACT:
An extension wire socket includes a nonconductive U-shaped portion, a nonconductive chamber and at least one electrical connector supported therein. The U-shaped portion is defined by a base and opposed tabs extending from the base. The U-shaped portion snaps over insulated electrical conductors. The nonconductive chamber is adjacent to the base. The socket accepts the terminal end of an extension wire. Each connector includes a spiked prong for piercing the insulation of one of the conductors when the socket is attached to the conductors. Each connector also includes an insulation displacement terminal for attaching the terminal end of the extension wire thereto. The spiked prong is located in the U-shaped portion and the insulation displacement terminal is located in the chamber. The connector is slotted into the socket in a manner that protects most portions of it from exposure and unwanted flexing and stresses.
