Abstract: An electrical connector includes a housing and an electrical contact held by the housing. The electrical contact includes opposing spring beams configured to receive an electrical wire therebetween. The spring beams have conductor interfaces configured to engage in physical contact with the electrical wire such that the electrical wire is captured between the spring beams with a compliant pinch connection. A pivot block is held by the housing, includes a receptacle for receiving the electrical wire, and is pivotable between an open position and a closed position. The pivot block is configured to be pivoted from the open position to the closed position to move the electrical wire into engagement in physical contact between the conductor interfaces of the spring beams such that the electrical wire is captured between the spring beams with the compliant pinch connection and thereby electrically connected to the electrical contact.
