ABSTRACT:
A twist-on wire connector for connecting the ends of a plurality of wires together, includes a hollow, cup-shaped housing having an inner cavity with an opening at one end thereof and a closed end wall at the other end thereof and a coiled spring received in the housing and defining a wire-receiving first end generally adjacent to the opening of the housing and a constricted second end generally adjacent to the housing closed end wall. The coiled spring is in the form of at least a double helix so as to define at least a dual coil spring having a dual leading edge which facilitates quick twist-on of the wires.
