ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is disclosed which is particularly adapted to electrically and mechanically connect a transmission conductor to a distribution conductor. The connector includes a C-shaped body having a curved top wall adapted to fit over a transmission conductor. A screw-operated wedge is carried by the bottom of the C-shaped body and includes an elongated recess in the top for supporting the distribution conductor. A conductor interface has a handle or gripping means thereon which allows the same to be easily placed within the connector body between the connectors. The screw positively moves the wedge both in and out so that the clamping action of the connector can be tightened or loosened as desired. A frangible nut prevents overtightening of the screw and a locking washer includes tabs which may be bent into place to prevent the screw from accidentally turning.
