Zusammenfassung:The electrical connector has a housing with blades and multiple holes extending into the housing. A blade passes vertically through a snug slot in the housing and has holes with a keyhole shape. A first lever extends from a living hinge of the top of the housing and has a lock that secures the first lever when closed. In an alternate embodiment, the present invention has a second blade and slot, and a second lever hinged opposite and above the first lever that closes upon the first lever. In use, a worker grasps the connector and inserts insulated wires into the holes. Then the worker uses a thumb and forefinger to close the first lever which pushes the blade where the keyholes cut through insulation on the wires to make an electrical connection. The holes, openings, and slots have a waterproofing agent or silicone gel to seal the wires.
