Electrical cable connector

摘要

An electrical connector (10) for use on an electrical cable (20) for drawing off power therefrom, comprises a body (100) having upper and lower sides (110/120), the lower side (120) including a channel (200) which opens to the exterior on the same side such that the cable (20) can be laterally inserted into the channel (200) from that side, a clamp (300) in the channel (200) for clamping the cable (20) in the channel (200), and an operator (400) on the upper body side (110) for operating the clamp (300), the operator (400) being operable through a screw action. Also included is a pair of conductors (500), each having a sharp lower end (501) for piercing into the cable (20) clamped in the channel (200) to make contact with a respective conductive core (22) thereof and an upper end (502) for external electrical connection on the upper body side (110).
