  • Patent number: 7490504
    Abstract: A connector and crimping/splicing tool includes a connector that has tubular sleeves monolithically formed with each other and registered in parallel. Each sleeve has an outer casing, a conductive inner casing mated to the outer casing, and conductive knurls protruding towards the sleeve center. A tool includes first and second jaws and first and second handles monolithically formed therewith. A mechanism is included for articulating the handles to an equilibrium position after the jaws are pivoted to an open position. The resilient articulating mechanism includes a helical spring that has opposed ends conjoined to the first and second handles. The connector is intercalated between the jaws such that a first set of wires can be inserted from one connector end while a second set of wires is inserted through another connector end, thereby allowing the jaws to crush the sleeves and bridge a conductive path therebetween.
