Claims8
An electrical connector manufactured from an electrically conductive material which connector comprises a body portion to which a first electrical conductor may be attached by welding, soldering, an electrical clip or other suitable means;
- and first, second and third legs outwardly extending in essentially the same direction from said body portion, each of said legs being defined by front and rear faces and right and left edges, the second of said legs being disposed in a position approximately between said first and third legs, said legs being oriented so the right edge of said first leg is proximate the left edge of said second leg, the right edge of said second leg is proximate the left edge of said third leg and the left edge of said first leg and right edge of said third leg each face is approximately opposite directions away from all portions of said electrical connector, said legs being manufactured of a metallic material having a spring resiliency which permits said second leg to be spacially separated by force from said first and third legs thus permitting a second electrical conductor to be placed between said second leg and said first and third legs and permitting said second electrical conductor to be retained by the rear face of said second leg and the front faces of said first and third legs.
