摘要： A submersible electrical connector intended for use in a power distribution network permits a metal to stripped metal conductor connection to be visually inspected and verified by the installer while eliminating many opportunities for human error present with existing connectors. The connector in one embodiment includes a generally cup or dome-shaped enclosure which is preferably transparent. An open end of the enclosure mates with a seal body and a connector plate has a number of apertures adapted to receive the bare metal ends of conductors or wires inserted through the seal body. Each aperture in the connector has an associated set screw for securing the conductor thereto. A molded seal member is adapted to mate with the seal body and to provide a water-tight connection when mated with the enclosure. The seal member has a number of seal ducts each aligned with one of the apertures in the connector. The seal ducts provide a water-tight seal around the plastic sheath of the conductor when installed in the assembly. Each seal duct initially includes a missel-shaped wire way guide plug inserted therein. Each wire way guide plug is open at the bottom to receive the exposed end of the conductor therein. The wire way guide plugs remain installed in the seal ducts to seal them until a conductor is inserted through the associated seal duct.

摘要： A lay-in electrical connector having a lug body with multiple dividing walls defining multiple conductor-receiving channels, multiple lug caps each associated with one of the conductor-receiving channels, and a tang secured with the lug body. The electrical connector is free of welded joints as the tang is coupled with the lug body by a clamping force applied by binding screws of the lug caps to conductors positioned within corresponding ones of the conductor-receiving channels. The tang, including the mounting holes extending through the tang, may be formed by an extrusion process. A removable plug element is provided for holding the lug caps and/or tang in a pre-assembled relationship with the lug body prior to use.

摘要翻译： 一种具有突出体的电连接器，具有限定多个导体接收通道的多个分隔壁的凸耳体，每个与导体接收通道中的一个相关联的多个凸耳盖以及用凸耳本体固定的凸台。 电连接器没有焊接接头，因为通过将凸耳盖的螺钉与定位在相应的导体接收通道中的导体接合而施加的夹紧力将凸起与凸耳体结合。 包括穿过柄脚的安装孔的柄可以通过挤压工艺形成。 提供了一种可拆卸的插头元件，用于在使用之前将突耳帽和/或柄柄与耳挂体预先组装起来。

摘要： A submersible electrical connector intended for use in a power distribution network permits a metal to stripped metal conductor connection to be visually inspected and verified by the installer while eliminating many opportunities for human error present with existing connectors. The connector in one embodiment includes a generally cup or dome-shaped enclosure which is preferably transparent. An open end of the enclosure mates with an upper seal body and a connector plate has a number of apertures adapted to receive the bare metal ends of conductors or wires inserted through the upper seal body. Each aperture in the connector has an associated set screw for securing the conductor thereto. A molded seal member is adapted to mate with the upper seal body and to provide a water-tight connection when mated with the enclosure. The seal member has a number of seal ducts each aligned with one of the apertures in the connector. The seal ducts provide a water-tight seal around the plastic sheath of the conductor when installed in the assembly. Each seal duct initially includes a missile-shaped wire way guide plug inserted therein. Each wire way guide plug can be opened at the bottom to receive the exposed end of the conductor therein. The wire way guide plugs remain installed in the seal ducts to seal them until a conductor is inserted through the associated seal duct.
