ABSTRACT:
A connector provides wire termination, without the need for any tools, facilitating electrical connection and trimming of excess wire by way of pressure applied by a human finger. Connection is accomplished by means of a rotational mechanism comprising an insulative base housing, a conductive electrical terminal and a non-conductive cam lever. The cam lever is configured around a rotating hub and has a wire passageway therethrough. the conductive electrical terminal, has a first insulation displacement contact and a second feedthrough/trimming contact, and fits slidably in the insulative base housing. With a wire installed through the wire passageway and feedthrough/timming contact, manual rotation of the cam lever and exertion of finger pressure terminates the wire in the conductive terminal and trims excess wire. A detent retains the cam lever in the engaged position. Reverse rotational movement of the cam lever frees the wire for removal.
