Abstract: An electrical connector for making connection with a wire comprising an electrically conductive core and an electrically insulative covering by stripping the insulative covering from the core over a longitudinally extending portion of the wire and making electrical contact between a length of the bared core and an electrically conductive element; said connector comprising a support member having a mouth therein, said mouth having at least one stripping edge, on a side wall of the mouth; a tongue for moving into the mouth; and a guide means for the wire; the arrangement being such that, in use, the wire is located across the mouth with the aid of the guide means and as the tongue is moved into the mouth the insulative covering is stripped from the core by the stripping edge and the wire is wedged in the mouth between the tongue and the side wall of the mouth with a bared length extending within the mouth.
