<p>An electrical component for receiving power cord plugs, fuses or switch means and adapted to be electrically connected to insulated wire conductors carried in a nonmetallic sheathed cable, without preliminary stripping of the insulation, or severing of the wire conductors, or slicing of the cable sheath, or spreading apart of the wire conductors. The cable is set into a groove in the component cap which is pressed into the component body. Cutting and spreading components housed within the body serve to sever the sheathed cable and guide the individual wires within the sheathed cable into their respective channel grooves in the component body to provide electrical contact with terminals associated with each of the wires; all of the above functions being performed during the time in which the cap and component body are pressed together.</p> |
