Abstract
A push-in electrical connector assembly for electrically connecting stripped ends of a plurality of electrical wires. The connector assembly comprises a housing of electrical insulating material, and axially elongated central conductor member, and a generally frusto-conical metal clamp member formed of resilient metal concentric with the central conductor member. The clamp member has a plurality of resilient finger portions integrally joined at one end and arranged in a generally frusto-conical array that converges to the central conductor member to resiliently press wires against the central conductor member and thereby electrically connect the wires.
