ABSTRACT:
A wire connector (10) is provided for electrically interconnecting two or more conductors (18, 20) together. The wire connector includes a clamping member (14) having a tapered wall (36) that completely surrounds an internal cavity (42). The cavity (42) includes channels (48, 54) for receiving the conductors. A tapered wedge (16) having similar channels (64, 72) is arranged to enter the cavity (42) and wedge the conductors (18, 20) between the surfaces of the clamping member channels and the wedge channels thereby completing the desired interconnection. A bolt (22) extending through the clamping member and wedge is threaded into a nut (24) to hold the parts together. An insulating cover (12) is provided to slip over and latch to the assembly.
