A wire-to-wire electrical connector includes an insulative body member and an internal connector position. A wire insertion opening is defined in each end wall of the body member at the connector position. A first contact element is disposed in the connector position coaxial with the wire insertion openings and includes opposite end portions with a respective contact tab configured thereon. The contact tabs are biased to a closed position across the respective wire insertion opening. An actuator is configured with each wire insertion opening. The actuators are movably displaceable through an opening in a wall of the body member and include an engagement end in contact with a respective end portion of the first contact element. The actuators are manually depressible to move the contact tabs to an open position for insertion of a conductive core of a wire into the wire insertion opening beyond the contact tab, whereby upon release and return of the actuators, the contact tabs are biased against the conductive cores of opposite wires. |
