ABSTRACT:
A simplified, low-cost connector assembly for attaching tap lines to overhead electrical transmission or distribution conductors is provided which minimizes potential damage to the connected lines by provision of a cable-receiving housing and a complemental line-wedging block received therein along with means for gradually drawing the block into operative wedging position so as to preclude line damage which can occur with connector assemblies using driven-in-place wedge elements. The assembly hereof preferably includes a tapered, generally transversely C-shaped, line-receiving housing, in conjunction with a complementally tapered wedge block and bolt means for gradually drawing the block into tight, line-connecting engagement with the respective cable sections received within the C-shaped housing.
