ABSTRACT:
A positive retention connector has a hollow body for receiving a conductive wire and a housing insertable in the hollow body and adapted to support one or more terminal prongs connected to the wire and having means for positively engaging the periphery of the wire or its insulation for frictionally preventing relative movement between the wire and the connector. The retention means includes a plurality of prongs each having a friction surface adapted to engage the wire and a cam surface adapted to be engaged by the body as the housing is inserted therein for urging the friction surface of each prong against the wire. Means are also provided for securely attaching the terminal prongs, housing and body for retaining the wire with a minimal number of fasteners.
