First Claim
1. An electrical connector, comprising:
- a body portion having a central aperture extending between a first surface and an opposing second surface, the first surface including indents and the second surface including corresponding detents; and
a wire post portion unitarily formed with the body portion, the wire post portion supporting a wire clamping feature and laterally offset relative to the central aperture of the body portion.

Abstract
An embodiment electrical connector includes a body portion having a central aperture extending between a first surface and an opposing second surface, the first surface including indents and the second surface including corresponding detents and a wire post portion unitarily formed with the body portion, the wire post portion supporting a wire clamping feature and laterally offset relative to the central aperture of the body portion. An embodiment electrical connection system includes a first connector having a first central aperture, a first wire clamping feature laterally offset from the first central aperture, and first indents, and a second connector includes a second central aperture, a second wire clamping feature laterally offset from the second central aperture, and second detents. The second detents are configured to engage the first indents when the first and second connectors are mated to prevent rotation of the first connector relative to the second connector.
