Abstract: A no-crimp electrical connector for electrically connecting first and second electrical wires. A non-conductive housing member having first and second connection chambers separated by an insulated wall. A conductive metal insert member securely mounted in the insulated wall. The insert member has first and second ends, each of the first and second ends being in the first and second connection chambers, respectively. A ball-type clamping arrangement secures a first wire in one chamber. The second end of the insert member has a wire-engaging clamp means for pressing the second wire against a surface on the second end of the insert member.

Abstract: A no-crimp electrical connector for connecting a stranded or solid wire or conductor in the lower gauges electrical wire to an end terminal. It includes a conductive end terminal having an integral bullet-shaped wire-splaying end, and an end terminal end, a hollow, internally threaded, female connector member secured to the conductive end terminal and houses the bullet-shaped wire splaying end, and a male connector member having an externally threaded surface for threaded engagement with the internally threaded female connector member, the male connector member having a throughbore, the throughbore having a first portion which is conically shaped to define a wire clamping space for wire ends splayed by the bullet-shaped end upon relative rotation between the female and male connection members. The female connection member can be conductive and made integral with the conductive end terminal.

Abstract: A no-crimp electrical connector which does not require any metal pieces and is essentially comprised of two molded plastic body members. A molded plastic first body member has a connection chamber and a threaded wall bounds the connection chamber. A second molded plastic second body member has an externally threaded surface threadably engageable with the threaded wall in the first body member. One of the body members has an integral central conically shaped element which has an axis coaxial with the body member in which it is formed. The second body member has a throughbore with the throughbore having first and seconds ends. The first throughbore end is shaped to accommodate two or more wires in parallel, side-by-side relation. Preferably, the shape is oval or ablong.

A molded plastic body member has a connection chamber and a threaded wall bounds the connection chamber. A second molded body member has an externally threaded surface threadably engageable with the threaded wall in the first body member. One of the body members has a central conically shaped conductive element, and the other has a throughbore with the throughbore having one end shaped to accommodate two or more wires in side-by-side relation. A second end has complementary conical walls so that the wire ends of the two or more wires are clamped together between the conductive conical shaped element and the conical surface. Slots are provided in one or both body members and form spring fingers to allow pressing and/or relative rotation between the body members.

Abstract: A conductive metal end terminal for use with no tool electrical connector. The end terminal has a central shank portion shank portion having a pair of ends, a splayable coupling portion on one of the ends and a terminal end on the other of the ends. One or more barbs may be on the shank portion, and the splayable end may have one or more claw formations thereon.
