ABSTRACT:
A connection for a plurality of wire ends utilizes a first housing having a conical metal housing embedded therein. A terminal lug assembly is releasably engageable with the first housing and in contact with the metal housing. Upon insertion of an initial twist of the wire ends within the first housing and into the metal housing, rotation of the first housing further twists the wire ends into a first connection in contact with the metal housing. The contact of the terminal lug assembly with the metal housing presents a current flow path from the twisted wire ends to the terminal lug, the latter for connection to a terminal of a downstream component. An end cap is insertable within the first housing in lieu of the terminal lug assembly if only a current flow path through the connected wire ends is desired.
