ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector (10) enabling interconnection of terminals (84,86) of pairs of power cables (80,82) in a high temperature environment includes a body member (12) having a plurality of connection sites (18) separated by barrier walls (66), a plurality of terminal bolts (20) secured to the body member with threaded shanks (26) extending from enlarged bolt heads (28) through apertures thereof and outwardly between the barrier walls to receive ring sections (88,90) of the terminals thereonto, and clamping members (22) threadable onto the threaded shanks to clamp the terminals against the termination face (76) of the body member and tightly against each other. A top cover (14) is securable over the terminations and completes surrounding leading ends of the threaded shanks with dielectric material between connection sites. A bottom cover (16) holds the enlarged bolt heads in respective recesses. Each terminal bolt (20) includes an annular compression surface (32) about flush with the termination face of the body member against which the ring sections of the terminals can be compressed under torque of about fourteen foot-pounds.
