Abstract

An electrical connector for electrically connecting two conductors. More particularly, the conductor includes a C-shaped body member having parallel, inwardly facing channels for receiving conductors therein and a pair of toggle blocks pivotally joined together and each having outwardly facing channels along one side. The toggle blocks, having a combined width greater than the space between conductors positioned in the channels in the C-shaped body member, compress the conductors therein when forced into the body member.
