Electrical connectors

摘要

An electrical connector for electrically connecting wires includes first and second members pivotally coupled together. The first member has an opening and the second member has a receptacle, where the opening of the first member and the receptacle of the second member are configured to generally align when the first and second members are in a first position such that wires can be inserted through the opening of the first member and into the receptacle of the second member for electrically connecting the wires. A metallic coil is positioned within the receptacle of the second member and configured to electrically connect the wires. And, a sleeve is positioned adjacent the receptacle of the second member, generally above the metallic coil, for holding insulating material in the electrical connector to help coat the wires when the wires are received into the electrical connector.

主权项

1. An electrical connector for electrically connecting wires, the electrical connector comprising:
first and second members pivotally coupled and moveable between a first position in which the first member is oriented relative to the second member at an angle of about ninety degrees, and a second position in which the first member is folded over the second member, the first member having an opening and the second member having a receptacle; and a metallic coil positioned within the receptacle; wherein the opening of the first member and the receptacle of the second member are configured to generally align when the first and second members are in the first position such that wires can be inserted through the opening of the first member and into the receptacle of the second member for electrically connecting the wires, and wherein the metallic coil is configured to make the electrical connection between the wires.
