A connector for electrical communication between a low-voltage lamp and an electrical cable connected with a source of low-voltage electricity. The connector has a base with two opposed sections that define a channel for receiving the cable. Distal ends of each section have threaded radially outward surfaces for receiving a threaded cap. A presser in the cap pushes the cable into piercing engagement with a pair of nails in the channel for providing electrical communication between the cable and a lamp having a pair of wires connected to the nails. A U-shaped positioner is received within the channel over the electrical cable therein for accommodating narrow gauge cable. A method of connecting a lamp to an electrical cable is disclosed.

A connector for electrical communication between a low-voltage lamp and an electrical cable connected with a source of low-voltage electricity, comprising: a base with two opposed sections extending in a first direction therefrom and defining a channel having a longitudinal axis therebetween, a distal end of each section having a threaded radially outward surface for receiving a threaded cap; a pair of spaced-apart nails held in the base and extending from the channel with one of the nails on respective sides of the longitudinal axis, each nail defining a threaded axial bore open to a surface of the base for receiving a screw and a slotted opening in a side of the nail for receiving a wire from a low-voltage lamp, the wire secured in electrical communication with the nail by the screw; a cap having a threaded interior surface for engaging the two threaded sections; and a presser pivotally mounted to an interior bottom surface of the cap, the presser sized for being received between the two sections for bearing against the electrical cable in the channel, whereby an electrical cable, being received longitudinally in the channel, is piercingly engaged for electrical communication with the nails by the cap being threadingly screwed onto the two sections.
