Abstract:
A system includes a housing and a contact portion. The housing includes a first portion and a second portion, the first portion interlocking with the second portion so as to enclose a first volume and form a first wire opening within a first end of the housing and a second wire opening within a second end of the housing. The contact portion is disposed within the first volume and includes a first wire receiving portion, a first flexing beam extending from a first surface of the first wire receiving portion towards a second surface of the first wire receiving portion, a second wire receiving portion, a second flexing beam extending from a first surface of the second wire receiving portion towards a second surface of the second wire receiving portion, and a common wire stop disposed between the first wire receiving portion and the second wire receiving portion.

Claim (Index 20):
A method of connecting a first wire and a second wire, comprising:\n inserting a first end of a first wire through a first wire opening of a housing of a wire-to-wire connector; pressing the first end against a first flexing beam of a first wire receiving portion of a contact portion of the wire-to-wire connector until a portion of the first end slides through a gap between the first flexing beam and a surface of the first wire receiving portion and presses against a common wire stop of the contact portion, the common wire stop being disposed between the first wire receiving portion and a second wire receiving portion of the contact portion; inserting a second end of a second wire through a second wire opening of the housing; and pressing the second end against a second flexing beam of the second wire receiving portion of a contact portion of the wire-to-wire connector until a portion of the second end slides through a gap between the second flexing beam and a surface of the second wire receiving portion, wherein the contact portion is constructed of an electrically-conductive material, wherein the flexing beams press the first and second wires against the surfaces of the first and second wire receiving portions so as to retain the first and second wires in the contact portion and create an electrically-conductive connection between the first wire and the second wire.
