ABSTRACT:
An electrical wire connector of the type having a wedge with converging side surfaces forcible into a C-shaped member between converging ears thereof, includes concave channel portions of the wedge side surfaces opposing arcuate inner surfaces of the ears to clamp respective wires therein under substantial clamping force to common and mechanically join them. The wedge has a raised region to be adjacent and abut the bight of the C-shaped member to minimize bowing thereof and thereby substantially increase the clamping force applied on the wires by the ears of the C-shaped member.
