ABSTRACT:
A quick connect electrical wire connector having a housing assembly with a base portion and a closure portion. The housing assembly receives an insulated electrical wire which is not stripped. The base portion is connected to another electrical member. A slicing mechanism is defined between the base portion and the closure portion for transversely slicing through the insulation so as to make electrical contact with the wire core therebeneath. Appropriate connection is provided for electrically connecting the slicing mechanism with the other electrical member. In this manner, closure of the closure portion onto the base portion permits electrical connection between the insulated electrical wire and the other electrical member. The device is provided with an adjustable mechanism so as to be able to accommodate wires of different gauge size with suitable adjustment being made to the device in order to accommodate such different gauge size wires.
