Abstract
A wire gripping entryway particularly adapted for use with an electrical connector capable of making an electrical connection to a cylindrical, insulated electrical wire inserted into the connector includes a wall having an inner surface defining an hole in the connector for the entrance of the electrical wire, a first set of resilient projections extending a first distance radially inwardly from the inner surface of the wall for gripping a wire having a diameter within a first range of diameters and a second set of resilient projections extending a second distance greater than the first distance radially inwardly from the inner surface of the wall for gripping a wire having a diameter within a second range of diameters.
