Patent ID: 7575465

Claim:
An electrical connection kit, comprising: at least one electrical connector having a connector body, the body including a conductor receptacle, a predetermined insertion depth for the electrical connector defined as a function of an extent to which an insulated conductor is to be inserted into the receptacle; and a length of insulated conductor having a conductive core and an insulation jacket surrounding the core, the insulation jacket having, spaced along its length, a plurality of cut markings, the insulation jacket further having a plurality of insertion markings uniformly spaced from respective ones of the cut markings by said insertion depth, such that a user may cut the conductor at a selected cut marking and have an indicium of how far the cut conductor is to be inserted into the electrical connector; the electrical connector further having a cap with a bore for receiving the insulated conductor therethrough, the cap capable of being assembled to the connector body in a first position, the insertion markings on the insulation jacket being initial insertion markings, a selected one of the initial insertion markings being used by a user as an indicium to show how far a cut conductor should be inserted through the bore in the cap and into the receptacle of the connector body; the insulation jacket further having a plurality of final insertion markings spaced from respective ones of the initial insertion markings by a uniform predetermined length, the user, after threading a cut conductor through the cap and inserting the cut conductor into the receptacle in the connector body, moving the cap from the first position to a second position on the connector body by using the final insertion marking next adjacent to the last said initial insertion marking to determine whether the cap is correctly assembled to the female connector body.
