ABSTRACT:
A bridge tap connector is formed by a pair of top and bottom covers. The bottom cover has a plurality of terminals secured therein, each terminal having a pair of slotted plate configurations extending normal to each other and to the plane of the bottom cover. Like pluralities of first and second pairs of conductor gripping means are spaced on opposite sides of each terminal, each pair aligned to secure a conductor overlying a respective slotted plate. Conductors of a tap cable are dressed in the bottom cover and secured by the first pairs of gripping means. Conductors of a continuous cable are dressed in the bottom cover and secured by the second pairs of gripping means overlying and normal to the tap cable conductors. Stuffer means integral with the top cover drive the conductors into terminating engagement in the respective slotted plates when the top cover is applied to the bottom cover.
