ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector comprises a housing and a terminal having a slot into which an insulated electrical wire can be forced by inserting the terminal into the housing, after the wire has been inserted into a guide channel in the housing. The insulation of the wire is severed by the walls of the slot to make electrically conductive between the metal core of the wire and the terminal. As the terminal is inserted into the housing, the wire is forced against a resilient pressure member extending from a wall of the housing, the pressure member serving, after the insertion of the terminal into the housing to bear resiliently against the wire to hold it in position in the slot of the terminal. Retaining means serve to hold the terminal in its inserted position so that the pressure of the resilient member against the wire is maintained.
