ABSTRACT:
A shunt (20) for electrically joining terminal posts (12) each having a width (W) comprises a base (22) which is apertured (23) to freely receive the posts (12) therethrough, and arms (26) extending upwardly from opposite sides of the base (22) and converging to a constriction (28) between free ends (18) thereof. A dimension (D) of the constriction (28) is less than the width of the posts (12), whereby the posts may be captured between the free ends (18). The base (22) has ears (24) at opposite ends which extend beyond side edges (27) of the arms (26) and are adapted to be engaged by the tool (30). The tool comprises a body (32) and a separator (34) extending from the body. The separator (34) has a width (S) which is greater than the constriction dimension (D) but less than the width (W) of the posts. The separator (34) is insertable in the constriction (28) to resiliently deflect the arms (26) and thereby become engaged between the free ends (18) to frictionally retain the shunt (20) to the tool (30). An inserter (36) extending from the body substantially parallel to the separator (34) is arranged such that, when the separator (34) is engaged between the free ends (18), a leading end (37) of the inserter is engageable against the base (22) without the inserter (36) being engaged between the free ends (18).
