The connector has two terminals. Each terminal has an upper portion including a pair of upwardly projecting members. The terminals each have a lower portion connectable to respective first and second plug wires. The connector has a housing. The housing has a lower portion. The lower portion has first and second openings in which the terminals are seated. An upper portion is pivotably attached to the lower portion of the housing. The upper portion of the housing includes two lead wire receiving holes.
