Abstract:
1. A connector system for electrical conductors, comprising: (a) a first electrical contact adapted to receive a length of electrically conductive wire in one end thereof, wherein the first electrical contact includes: (b) a second electrical contact adapted to receive a length of electrically conductive wire in one end thereof and to receive a portion of the first electrical contact and form an electrical connection therewith, wherein the second electrical contact further includes: (c) a first device adapted to receive the first electrical contact therein and temporarily compress the flexible engagement member of the first electrical contact into linear alignment with the stationary engagement member of the first electrical contact for creating a channel into which a length of electrical wire may be inserted; and (d) a second device adapted to receive the second electrical contact therein and temporarily compress the flexible engagement member of the second electrical contact into linear alignment with the stationary engagement member of the second electrical contact for creating a linear channel into which a length of electrical wire may be inserted.
