Abstract: A electrical connector includes a center portion having an end face, a first outer body portion and second outer body portion. The outer body portions are hingedly connected to the center portion. The connector also includes at least one conductor termination and preferably two conductor terminations disposed within the center portion; each of the conductor terminations are electrically coupled to a conductor at the end face of the center portion. At least one of the outer body portions has a rib positioned to urge insulated conductors into the conductor terminations when the outer body portions are closed around the center portion. The conductor terminations each have a slot for receiving the insulated conductors, with an edge effective to cut the insulation of the insulated conductor, thereby making electrical contact between the conductor and the conductor termination.
