  • Patent number: 5630735
    Abstract: An electrical connector for coupling together at least two electrical conductors in electrically conductive relationship to each other is disclosed. The connector is a plastic, nonconducting block encasing an electrically conductive bus exchange. The bus exchange is a conductive metal sheet with at least one rolled, hollow portion for receiving and electrically coupling a pair of said electrical conductors. The rolled portion includes two crimps disposed approximately at the rolled portion in mirror opposition which serve as respective contact stops for the electrical conductors. The electrical conductors preferably comprise insulated electrical wires with stripped ends, the stripped ends being received in the electrically conductive bus exchange. The block includes longitudinal bores for receiving the electrical wires to be connected.
