Abstract: An electrical connector is particularly adapted to electrically and mechanically connect a main conductor to a bail or tap conductor. The connector includes a frame having a curved top wall fitted over a main conductor and a curved bottom wall receiving a bail or tap conductor. A fastener-operated wedge assembly is carried within the frame between a conductor receiving position and a conductor clamping position. The wedge assembly has a wedge body with primary contact surface contacting the main conductor and a secondary contact surface contacting the bail or tap conductor when the wedge body is moved from the conductor receiving position to the conductor clamping position. The fastener moves the wedge body so that the clamping action of the connector can be tightened or loosened as desired. A head portion of the fastener may include a breakaway feature to help prevent over tightening of the fastener.

Abstract: Wedge type electrical connector assemblies adapted to electrically and mechanically connect conductors within transmission and/or distribution circuits is provided. The wedge type electrical connector assembly includes a frame, an interface and a wedge assembly. The interface is coupled to the frame so that it is movable relative to the frame. The interface can move and flex when installing conductors into the wedge type electrical connector assemblies.

Abstract: An electrical connector is disclosed which is particularly adapted to electrically and mechanically connect a conductor to a terminal. The connector includes a C-shaped frame having a curved top wall adapted to fit over a conductor. A mounting surface with through holes for mechanical fastening to pad type equipment or fixture. A fastener-operated wedge assembly is carried within the frame between a conductor receiving position and a conductor clamping position. The wedge assembly has a wedge body with a contact surface adapted to contact the conductor when the wedge body is moved from the conductor receiving position to the conductor clamping position. The fastener positively moves the wedge body between the positions so that the clamping action of the connector can be tightened or loosened as desired. A head portion of the fastener may include a breakaway feature to help prevent overtightening of the fastener.

Abstract: A locking member particularly adapted to lock a cover onto an electrical connector which connects an electrical transmission conductor to a distribution conductor is provided. The locking member includes a tip portion, a gripping portion, a holding portion, and a head portion, where the tip portion has a smaller cross-sectional area than the gripping portion and where the head portion is a widest portion of the locking member. The present disclosure is also directed insulating cover assemblies that include an insulating cover and a locking member contemplated by the present disclosure.
