ABSTRACT:
A solderless connector includes a body member having a resilient collet for engaging an insulated electrical conductor. A securing sleeve includes mating threads for engagement with the body member. As the sleeve is tightened on the body member anchoring cams on the sleeve press the resilient collet into the insulation about the electrical conductor so as to securely hold the body member in position. A conductor spike, concentrically disposed within the collet and attached to the body member makes contact with the electrical conductor. The solderless conductor also includes a pin connector terminal for making electrical contact with an electrical apparatus. The pin connector terminal includes a frangible weakened zone so that the terminal may be broken off from the body member if desired. A threaded connection may then be utilized to mount an alternative terminal, such as a banana plug or spade terminal, to the body member.
