An electrical connector comprising a body having at least two channels to receive a conducting electrical cable, a conducting inner compression locking sleeve positioned in each channel, preferably slotted to allow it to close about and grasp the cable, in electrical contact with an outer compression locking sleeve positioned slidably along each of said inner compression locking sleeve. A tab extends from the outer compression locking sleeve through a slot in the body to allow the outer compression locking sleeve to be moved by hand along the inner compression locking sleeve. The outer sleeve is preferably non conducting, thus allowing the tab to be formed as an integral part thereof. The inner sleeve has a larger diameter than the outer sleeve and to facilitate sliding the outer sleeve over the inner sleeve, such as a generally frustoconical cross section with the base portion having the largest diameter being distal from the outer sleeve in the open position. Sliding the outer sleeve along the inner sleeve toward the larger base will squeeze the larger base close about the cable.
