ABSTRACT:
A metal clip for connecting an insulated wire and a terminal post together without stripping the wire or solder. The clip is generally channel-shaped with a first slot means extending across the bottom wall of the channel and into the side walls of the channel. Extensions of the free end of the side walls are folded within the channel back towards the bottom wall and have second slots formed therein which are aligned with the first slot means. The conductor is inserted into the first and second slots and then the terminal post is pushed into the channel at right angles to the wire and adjacent the bottom wall thereof to force the conductor farther back into the slots and causing the edges of the slots to either grip or cut through the insulation and into the wire, thereby making a good electrical and mechanical connection.
