ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a device for electrically connecting wires. The device includes first and second nonconductive housing sections adapted to be mateably secured together to form a substantially closed housing. An electrically conductive contact is disposed within the housing and has a first end including a tang for piercing the insulation of the first wire and making electrical contact with the center conductor thereof, a second end including a tang for piercing the insulation of the second wire and making electrical contact with the center conductor thereof, and a connecting portion electrically connecting the first end and the second end to provide an electrical path from the center conductor of the first wire through the contact to the center conductor of the second wire. At least one boss is located in the housing for pressing the ends of the first and second wires against the tangs of the electrically conductive contact when the housing sections are mated to one another sufficient to cause the tangs to pierce the insulation and make electrical contact with the center conductors and to secure the ends within the housing.
