ABSTRACT:
A connecting device for electrically and mechanically joining two conductors positioned substantially perpendicular having improvements allowing for easier and safer installation. The connector includes a C-shaped body member and a wedge assembly. The C-shaped body member has two spaced apart fingers hooked to engage one conductor and a yoke section which joins the fingers and is contoured to engage another conductor. The wedge assembly provides the separating and securing means to the conductors and is comprised of two parts. The wedge assembly is comprised of a wedge shaped section and a T-shaped section that are mechanically engaged by use of interacting parts involving the incline of the wedge and the vertical portion of the "T". Each member of the wedge assembly has an independent contoured surface which engages one of the transversing conductors. The wedge assembly functions separately from and unconnected to the body member when installed between the conductors. The T-shaped member and wedge-shaped member are dependently connected via a bolt which upon tightening causes relative motion between the members up and along the wedge incline until a rigid and locked position is established.
