Electrical connector devices and methods for employing same

An apparatus comprising:

• a bobbin comprising at least one anchoring structure extending therefrom, the anchoring structure comprising an elongated body having opposing ends and an internal groove formed therein, wherein the groove extends from an opening at a first end of the anchoring structure along a longitudinal axis thereof, the anchoring structure further comprising an exterior surface defined between the opposing ends comprising at least one recess formed thereon configured to receive at least one loop of at least one wire, and at least one opening formed within the at least one recess, wherein the at least one opening is in open communication with the internal groove, wherein the opening is positioned in the recess such that at least a portion of a loop of wire wrapped on the anchoring structure in the region of the recess bridges the at least one opening, wherein the groove is configured to receive a contact pin of an electrical connector therein, and the at least one recess and opening are configured to retain at least one loop of the at least one wire in a position to receive impinging contact through the at least one opening from a contact pin inserted in the groove;
• and
• a contact pin of an electrical connector configured to electrically connect the at least one loop of the at least one wire upon insertion of the contact pin into the groove.
