ABSTRACT:
A wedge connector for mechanically securing two electrical cables and making them electrically common is disclosed. The wedge connector has a C-shaped body member and a wedge. The body member has sides that converge toward a first body member end from a second body member end. The body member has edges that are formed to define a pair of inwardly facing channels connected by a web extending between the channels. The wedge also has converging sides to be conformably received in the C-shaped body member. The wedge has concave, outwardly facing surfaces on each side connected by a web extending between the sides. It also has a spring rib formed in the web that extends continuously from a first wedge end toward a second wedge end.
