ABSTRACT:
A plug-in electrical wiring apparatus includes an insulating housing having a cable receiving external socket disposed therein. The socket is defined by a bottom wall and a tapered side wall extending outward from the bottom wall. The side wall is convergingly tapered toward the bottom wall so that a cable inserted in the socket will wedgingly engage the tapered side wall. The bottom wall has a wire receiving housing opening disposed therethrough for receiving a first wire of the cable. An electrical contact strip is disposed in the housing for also receiving the wire of the cable. The contact strip includes a middle web portion having a wire receiving web opening in registry with the housing opening. The web portion further includes a resilient retaining tab for engaging the wire when the wire is inserted through the housing opening and the web opening and for resisting withdrawal of the wire from the web opening. The electrical contact strip further includes first and second leg portions extending from the web portion away from the housing opening, which leg portions are arranged to engagingly receive the wire of the cable therebetween.
