Apparatus for effecting a drop wire splice comprises an enclosure having a pair of channels with each channel extending from an entrance end to an exit end. A partition is located between the channels and a ramped surface is located on a wall of each channel opposite the partition with the ramped surface widening each channel as it extends from its entrance to exit end. Embedded in the partition are a pair of electrically conductive terminals each of which comprises tangs extending into each channel at an angle inclined toward the exit end. The apparatus further comprises a pair of wedges for insertion into the exit end of each channel. After a drop wire is fully inserted into each channel through the entrance end with the wire overlapping the tangs of the terminals, a wedge is forced into the exit end of each channel between the ramped surface and the wire to force the drop wire down onto the tangs of the terminal thereby making an electrical contact with the tangs and locking the drop wire in each channel between the partition and the forcibly inserted wedge.
