Abstract

An electrical connector comprises a plurality of metal split cylinders (18) each having an axially extending slot (33) for receiving an insulated wire to form an electrical connection, and an insulating housing (20) for each cylinder, supporting the cylinder and including slots (61, 62) on diametrically opposed sides with one slot coaxially extending with the slot of the cylinder. The housings are aligned in two rows with the slots thereof aligned transversely to the rows and with the housings in each row laterally spaced apart to form a plurality of inter housing slots (63) and the housings in different rows laterally offset.
