  • Patent number: 5939678
    Abstract: A pigtailed screw on wire connector cap for connecting plural electrical appliances to a single device. The pigtailed screw on wire connector includes a basic screw on wire connector having an insulative cap thereon, and a flexible stranded wire lead extending from the screw on wire connector. The screw on wire connector has a substantially frustoconical cavity with distinct regions having varying diameters which are predominately threaded. The terminal region can have a limited or an extended space with or without any conducting surface. A contiguous region has a narrowed diameter. The next conductive region is conical with the largest diameter proximate to the opening of the cavity. The cylindrical region at the opening is nonconductive. The end of the soft stranded bare wire of the pigtail wire is crimped with a conductive sleeve and inserted into the terminal region where it is effectively confined during the subsequent twisting procedure.
