ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector means comprising a plurality of individual units which may be coupled end-for-end to provide a multiple-conductor connecting means of any desired length. Each of the individual units comprises an outer housing of an electrically non-conductive material and defining on its outer surfaces male and female dovetail coupling means so that a plurality of such units can be mechanically connected together. The outer housing defines an axial bore for receiving a metallic connector which includes a conductor clamping means. The housing further defines a transverse bore extending through one sidewall, other than the one defining a dovetail coupling means, into the axial bore. An electrical conductor can be inserted into the transverse bore so that the end of the conductor can be received into and clamped by the clamping means which includes a clamping screw. The conductor clamping means at the end thereof opposite the screw includes a projecting pin which fits into an axial aperture in the housing communicating with the axial bore, thereby permitting such pin to extend out of the bottom of the housing and be inserted into a corresponding aperture in, for example, a printed circuit card.
