Abstract: An electrical connector for coupling to an insulated electrical conductor which includes a housing having a housing cover, said housing and cover each having a bore therein, one of which has a tapered portion and the other end of which has a flat end wall, electrical conductive prong, attached to said housing in the bore therein and extending axially into the housing bore for receiving the end of an insulated electrical conductor. Attaching means for attaching the housing cover to the housing. A compression collar having a bore extending axially therethrough for insertion of a wire therethrough and into the housing bore and onto the pointed prong extending thereinto.

Abstract: An electrical connector for coupling to a coaxial cable. The connector has a housing with a bore therein and a first electrical conductive prong protruding axially into the housing bore for receiving the end of an insulated electrical conductor. A second electrical conductive prong is attached to the housing and protrudes axially into the housing bore generally concentric to the first electrical conductive prong. The coaxial cable end is pushed into the housing bore to drive the center conductor into the first conductive prong and the second conductive prong into the cable conductive sheath. A coaxial cable collar is shaped to fit over the end of a piece of coaxial cable placed in the housing and has compressible fingers for driving onto the coax cable outer insulation to lock the cable to the housing. A cap having an annular wedging surface therein compresses the coaxial cable collar in the housing onto the insulated coaxial cable.

Abstract: An electrical connector for coupling to a coax cable of the type having an inner conductor enclosed in an inner concentric insulation and having a generally concentric conductive sheath therearound and an outer insulation enclosing the conductive sheath. The connector has a housing having an electrically conductive portion and a bore therein. An electrically conductive pin or prong has one end protruding axially into the housing bore and the second prong end extending in an opposite direction within a second housing bore. One or more conductive clamps are electrically connected to the conductive housing portion and insulated from the electrical conductive prong and has pointed ends sized for driving the clamp into the outer insulation and into the conductive sheath without contacting the center conductor.

Abstract: An electrical connector for coupling to an insulated electrical conductor includes an insulated housing having a threaded bore therein, which bore has a tapered portion therein. An electrical conductive prong has two end portions with one end portion attached to the housing and having a second end portion protruding axially into the housing bore for receiving the end of an insulated electrical conductor. A threaded compression collar is threadedly attached in the bore and has a bore extending axially therethrough for insertion of a wire therethrough and into the housing bore and onto the pointed prong extending thereinto. The threaded compression collar has a compressed portion compressible by threading the collar into the tapered portion of the bore whereby threading the collar onto the tapered portion of the bore clamps the collar onto the wire placed therein so that an insulated wire can be rapidly connected to an electrical connector without removing the insulation from the end of the wire.
