Abstract
Abstract An electrical connector for connecting wire conductors to lamp sockets, such as those used for edge lighted panels. A connector comprising an insulating body and a conductor contact carried within the body, with the contact having a crimp wire receiver on one end and a split barrel terminal receiver on the other. The insulating body is a unitary resilient plastic member which is a push fit onto the socket and which carries the contact into sliding engagement with the conductor pin of the socket.
