  • Patent number: 4444449
    Abstract: An electrical connector for non-prestripped wires has a lower housing part (1) with wire guides, each comprising a double channel consisting of an upper introduction channel (47) having a cross-section suited for the introduction of a wire (7) and therebelow a parallel clamping channel (49) connected to the introduction channel by a constricted transition slit (51). A projection provided at an upper housing forces the wire at least partly into and through the transition slit (51) and into a recess (37) in the lower housing part (1) upon telescoping of the upper housing part into the lower housing part, thereby clamping the wire to strain relieve it.
