ABSTRACT:
A collapsible wedge for use in electrical connector assemblies which increases the range of conductor sizes that can be used therewith. The wedge contains ribs which, upon the application of a pre-determined force, enables the size of the wedge to shrink uniformly while maintaining its wedge shape. The wedge is used with a shell to form an electrical connection. Electrical conductors are placed inside the shell and the collapsible wedge is driven therebetween. The wedge has stops which consistently located it horizontally in the shell. As the force on the wedge reaches a predetermined value, the wedge collapses in a uniform manner thereby automatically adjusting its size to accommodate the size of the conductor and securely attaching the conductor to the shell.
