Abstract

An electrical connector particularly adapted for use with an electrical circuit test probe. A collet member having facing gripping jaws on one end is adapted to receive an electrical conductor. A plug housing having first and second cylindrical portions interconnected by a tapered portion is adapted to receive the collet member and squeeze the jaws into electrical connection with the conductor as the collet member is pushed into the plug housing. For use with the electrical circuit test probe, the plug housing has a closed cylindrical inner end adapted to be crimped into the end of a socket tube.
