ABSTRACT:
An expansion terminal connector for providing means for accommodating the expansion and contraction of an elongated tubular bus comprising a pair of identical collars having circular openings therein; a pair of elongated flexible straps placed over and adjacent the collars, and adapters placed over the straps and adjacent the collars such that the adapters may be welded to the collars thereby securing the straps to the collars. A guide body is inserted through one of the circular openings in the collar, the guide body having at one end a tongue having openings therein for mounting to a substation assembly, and at the other end a guide for supporting the tubular bus. Intermediate the ends the guide body has a flat circular portion designed to correspond to the diameter of the circular opening in the collar. The circular portion of the guide body is welded to the collar to form a secure connection between the guide body and the collar. A tubular bus is then inserted into the circular opening of the other collar and over the guide and welded in place thus providing the expansion terminal connector of the present invention.
