Electrical connector

摘要

A solderless electrical connector assembly includes a base portion formed of an insulating material having wire positioning means for receiving a conductive element and connector positioning means for receiving a connector member. The connector member is of a conductive material and includes two legs having conductor engaging means. The connector positioning means is oriented so the angle between the axis of the conductor positioning means and a line between the two legs of the connector is less than 90 DEG thereby spacing the legs of the connector along the axis of the conductor. When secured together, the base cooperates with the connector member and the conductive element to deform any insulation from the conductive element and to make positive electrical contact between the connector member and the conductive element.
