ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an electrical connector for connection to multiple conductors. The connector comprises a connector housing and at least two spring clamps in the housing. Each spring clamp has an open position to permit insertion of a conductor and a closed position in which the spring clamp engages the conductor to establish an electrical connection therewith. The connector further comprises a cam shaft having at least two axially spaced cam positions thereon. One of the cam positions is aligned with each spring clamp to open the spring clamps when the cam shaft is turned to an open position and to allow the spring clamps to close when the cam shaft is turned to a closed position. The connector further comprises a lever on said cam shaft for turning the cam shaft between the open and closed positions. The connector further comprises passageways in the connector housing, one for each spring clamp, leading a conductor inserted into the passageway into the corresponding spring clamp when the spring clamp is in the open position.
