ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector assembly that includes a lug connector having a flat end with a flat end connector and a barreled end having a barrel connector and an angle connector that includes a body having a male pin and a compression fitting. The male pin is rotatably inserted into the barrel connector. After the orientation of the angle connector is selected, the barrel connector is compressed to mechanically and electrically engage the first male pin. The compression fittings of the angle connector can be sized to connect wires or cables from #8 AWG to 3000 kcmil in size. In preferred embodiments, the flat end and the barreled end of the lug connector are angularly disposed to each other and form an angle of between 60 and 150 degrees.
