ABSTRACT:
An extruded connector has a bifurcated edge with a generally C-shaped cross section for engaging an enlarged edge of an adjacent panel. When changing the temperature conditions surrounding the connector, the bifurcated edge contracts and clamps the enlarged edge of the panel. The structural frame member is fastened to the connector at an edge opposite the bifurcated edge for completing a strong rigid connection between the panel and the frame member.
