Patent number: 6796853Abstract: A no-crimp electrical connector for electrically connecting first and second electrical wires. A non-conductive housing member having first and second connection chambers separated by an insulated wall. A conductive metal insert member securely mounted in the insulated wall. The insert member has first and second ends, each of the first and second ends being in the first and second connection chambers, respectively. A ball-type clamping arrangement secures a first wire in one chamber. The second end of the insert member has a wire-engaging clamp means for pressing the second wire against a surface on the second end of the insert member.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2003Date of Patent: September 28, 2004Assignee: Swenco Products, Inc.Inventor: René Tomasino

Patent number: 6695653Abstract: A no-crimp electrical connector for connecting a stranded or solid wire or conductor in the lower gauges electrical wire to an end terminal. It includes a conductive end terminal having an integral bullet-shaped wire-splaying end, and an end terminal end, a hollow, internally threaded, female connector member secured to the conductive end terminal and houses the bullet-shaped wire splaying end, and a male connector member having an externally threaded surface for threaded engagement with the internally threaded female connector member, the male connector member having a throughbore, the throughbore having a first portion which is conically shaped to define a wire clamping space for wire ends splayed by the bullet-shaped end upon relative rotation between the female and male connection members. The female connection member can be conductive and made integral with the conductive end terminal.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 1999Date of Patent: February 24, 2004Assignee: Swenco Products, Inc.Inventor: René Tomasino

Patent number: 6692313Abstract: A no-crimp electrical connector which does not require any metal pieces and is essentially comprised of two molded plastic body members. A molded plastic first body member has a connection chamber and a threaded wall bounds the connection chamber. A second molded plastic second body member has an externally threaded surface threadably engageable with the threaded wall in the first body member. One of the body members has an integral central conically shaped element which has an axis coaxial with the body member in which it is formed. The second body member has a throughbore with the throughbore having first and seconds ends. The first throughbore end is shaped to accommodate two or more wires in parallel, side-by-side relation. Preferably, the shape is oval or ablong.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2001Date of Patent: February 17, 2004Assignee: Swenco Products, Inc.Inventor: René Tomasino

Patent number: 6568952Abstract: A T-tap connector for making connection of a main electrical conductor without stripping the insulation or without splicing. A housing member has a plurality of connection chambers with an internally threaded wall and a central axis, a common connection member mounted in a wall separating the connection chambers. One of the connection chambers is slotted so that the walls thereof serve as ratchet teeth and coact with a coupling member to force a wire into engagement with a sharp pointed, common conductive member.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2001Date of Patent: May 27, 2003Assignee: Swenco Products, Inc.Inventor: Guy Tomasino

Patent number: 6494753Abstract: A no-crimp electrical connector is essentially comprised of two molded plastic body members. A molded plastic body member has a connection chamber and a threaded wall bounds the connection chamber. A second molded body member has an externally threaded surface threadably engageable with the threaded wall in the first body member. One of the body members has a central conically shaped conductive element, and the other has a throughbore with the throughbore having one end shaped to accommodate two or more wires in side-by-side relation. A second end has complementary conical walls so that the wire ends of the two or more wires are clamped together between the conductive conical shaped element and the conical surface. Slots are provided in one or both body members and form spring fingers to allow pressing and/or relative rotation between the body members.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2001Date of Patent: December 17, 2002Assignee: Swenco Products, Inc.Inventor: René Tomasino
