Abstract

Electrical wiring connector assemblies, devices, systems, apparatus, and methods for establishing circuit connections between insulated wire conductors without removing the insulation from the conductors, such as attaching a power conductor cable to multiple lights such as those used with pathway and landscape lights, and the like. The connector can include two legs hinged together with placement and penetrating members on the insides of the legs which when pushed together by squeezing the legs can penetrate the insulated layer of the insulated wire conductor to establish an electrical connection. Pivotable wire lead ports allow for wire leads to other lights to be hooked to the insulated wire conductor.

IPC Classes  ?

• H01R 4/24 - Connections using contact members penetrating or cutting insulation or cable strands
• H01R 11/20 - End pieces terminating in a needle point or analogous contact for penetrating insulation or cable strands
• H01R 9/11 - End pieces for multiconductor cables supported by the cable and for facilitating connections to other conductive members
