ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a C-shaped member (10) for use with a wedge. The C-shaped member includes a bight section (16) and two arcuate ears (18) extending from opposite sides of the bight section. The C-shaped member has an outer surface (24) with laterally extending ribs (22) and grooves (26) in an alternating sequence. The C-shaped member has an inner surface (34) that is initially formed with protrusions (36) each being opposed to one of the grooves. The protrusions compensate for bowing of the inner surface during forming of the arcuate ears, thereby resulting in the inner surface having a planar profile after forming.
