ABSTRACT:
The electrical connector includes a male element traveling within a female element, the male element having a cantilevered C-clamp arm opposing a C-clamp element formed on the female element. A spacer includes a planar surface with a passageway through which at least a portion of the male and female elements pass thereby slidably interlocking the male and female element to each other. The spacer further includes a wire spacer which travels between the clamp arms and separates the conductors to be clamped. Ledges are formed on the male and female elements to limit travel of the male element with respect to the female element and to limit travel of the spacer with respect to the male element. A bolt passing through the female element and threadably engaging the male element secures the male element to the female element so that the clamp arms clamp conductors as separated by the wire spacer.
