ABSTRACT:
A twist-on electrical connector connects plural insulated electrical conductors. The connector may be manually twisted onto the conductors by an installer. The connector includes an outer insulative shell and an expandable spring held within the shell. The shell includes a pair of generally diametrically opposed wings which may be gripped by the installer to facilitate twisting of the connector onto the wires. The wings conform to the fingers of the installer to permit the easy gripping and twisting of the connector onto the conductors.
