Self-locking connector

摘要

A connector is disclosed which features a bifurcated contact providing a pair of contact legs enveloped within an insulating body or housing having a conductor entry opening registering with the contact legs. The housing includes beveled cam shoulders adjacent its opening and which cooperate with the contact legs to automatically apply a predetermined conductor locking force upon inserting the conductor into the housing between the contact legs and which increase the locking force in response to a conductor withdrawal force being applied.
