Abstract
This invention relates to a device for splicing two wires together whereby such splice can be disconnected and the device reused. More particularly the invention provides a single elongated housing of insulating material and a one piece contact strip encased therein. The strip contains a spring member and apertured frames which receive the wire conductors. Upon forcing depressed steps on the strip into slots in the housing the apertures are deformed into electrical and mechanical contact with the conductors. The spring member retains the force thereon until release by means of a releasing tool.
