Abstract
An electrical connection system (10) for connecting at least two electrical wires (W) together in a secure housing. A non-electrically conductive base (12) has a plurality of ports (16) corresponding to at least the number of wires being connected together with an end of each wire being inserted through a respective port. Exposed ends of the wires are then twisted together. A non-electrically conductive cap (14) is sized and shaped to align with and fit over a top of the base with the twisted together exposed ends of the wires fitting within the cap. The base and cap together form a shell in which the twisted together wires are securely enclosed.
