    摘要: A transverse wedge connector system for forming an electrical connection with first and second elongate electrical conductors includes an electrically conductive first connector member, an electrically conductive second connector member, an insert member, and a clamping mechanism. The first connector member includes a first body having a first channel portion and a first abutment portion. The first channel portion defines a first channel to receive the first conductor. The second connector member includes a second body having a second channel portion and a second abutment portion. The second channel portion defines a second channel to receive the second conductor. The insert member is configured to be selectively mounted in the first channel and defining an insert member channel to receive the first conductor when the insert member is mounted in the first channel. The clamping mechanism is selectively operable to displace the first and second connector members relative to one another from an open position to a closed position to clamp the first conductor between the first channel portion and the second abutment surface, and to clamp the second conductor between the second channel portion and the first abutment portion to thereby form a connection.
