Abstract:
1. A crimpless electrical connector assembly configured to be used multiple times, said assembly comprising: an outer housing having a top wall and a perimeter wall coupled to and extending downwardly from said top wall, a bottom edge of said perimeter wall defining an opening to access an interior of said outer housing, said top wall of said outer housing having a first connector aperture extending therethrough; a connecting member being positionable within the interior of said outer housing, said connecting member insertably receiving an electrical conductor whereby said electrical conductor is operationally coupled to said connecting member, the electrical conductor being selectively removable from said connecting member whereby said connecting member is re-usable; an inner housing having an upper wall, a lower wall and an exterior wall coupled to and extending between said upper and lower walls, said inner housing having a conductor aperture extending through said upper and lower walls, said inner housing being positionable within the interior of said outer housing and frictionally engaging said outer housing after said connecting member is positioned with the interior of said outer housing, said conductor aperture being aligned with said first connector aperture when said inner housing is positioned within the interior of said outer housing, said conductor aperture insertably receiving the electrical conductor whereby said electrical conductor is operationally coupled to said connecting member; a connector being selectively inserted into said first connector aperture on said outer housing such that said connector is operationally coupled to said connecting member whereby said connector is operationally coupled to the electrical conductor; said perimeter wall of said outer housing including a front side and rear side; said front side of said perimeter wall having an angled portion and a vertical portion; said connecting member having a basal wall, an upper wall and a rear wall coupled to and extending between a rear edge of each of said basal and upper walls, said connecting member including a forward wall coupled to and extending downwardly from a leading edge of said basal wall such that said forward wall extends downwardly from said basal wall at an acute angle, said forward wall being co-planar with and abutting said angled portion of said perimeter wall of said outer housing when said connecting member is positioned within the interior of said outer housing, said upper wall abutting said top wall of said outer housing and said rear wall abutting said rear side of said perimeter wall of said outer housing when said connecting member is positioned within the interior of said outer housing.
