Abstract
A connector for insulated electrical wires in which a body of insulating material has a wire connection well formed into one surface and receives a slotted, flat plate, electrical contact element. A wire retention well is formed adjacent the wire connection well and is joined to the wire connection well by a passageway aligned with the slot in the contact element. The passageway is constricted to engage the insulation of a wire forced into the slot of the contact element in the wire connection well through the passageway and out of the wire retention well to electrically connect the wire to the contact element while providing strain relief for the wire in the passageway.
