ABSTRACT The invention is directed generally to elec- trical connectors and, more particularly, to a connector for providing a plug-type interconnection between a solid wire conductor and a wire-wrap terminal post, such as on a panelboard. At present, temporary connections of individual wire conductors to a terminal post are made by simply wrapping the stripped end of the wire conduc- tor around the terminal post. This operation is ex- tremely time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, the winding of the wire conductor around the terminal post seriously weakens the conductor and, therefore, the conductor must continually be cut back and re- stripped on succeeding operations, resulting in consider- able waste. The connector of the present invention includes an elongated insulating housing having first and second openings respectively dimensioned to conform to the terminal post and the solid wire conductor. The housing contains two spaced-apart electrical receptacles interconnected by a conductor or a circuit element, such as a diode, each receptacle having a pair of spaced- apart spring contacts with the pairs of contacts respec- tively disposed adjacent to the two openings in alignment therewith for receiving and electrically contacting the terminal post and the solid wire conductor. The housing carries a strain relief member adjacent to the conductor opening for receiving the insulated portion of the con- ductor.
