Insulation displacement wire connectors

A field friendly wire connector for on-the-go connecting insulation coated electrical wires to each other without having to remove the wire insulation coating from either of the wires and without having to cut the wires with the wire connector including a flexible electrical conductor mounted in a connector base and a pair of slotted pivot arms sandwiching the flexible electrical conductor therein as the slotted pivot arms push the electrical wires into electrical contact with the electrical connector and a dual mode housing that forms a hand grip when attached to a first side of the connector base to provide a hand grip or support to the wire connector during formation of electrical connections and when the dual mode housing is attached to an opposite side of the connector base the dual mode housing forms a protective covering over the electrical connections.
