WIRE COMPRESSION CONNECTOR

摘要

A compression connector for connecting two wires is disclosed. The compression connector is made of either a single bifurcated connector body or two individual connector components that are slidably coupled and then crimped. As the compression connector is crimped, structural features on the connector components are pushed into a locked state in the two component embodiment. Bifurcated embodiments allow for more than one crimping act on the compression connectors resulting in a more reliable compression connection. The compression connector that results is much more resistant to failure compared to known C-shaped compression connectors.

主权项

1. A compression connector comprising:
a. a first connector component having a wire cradle configured to receive a first wire section; and b. a second connector component having a wire cradle configured to receive a second wire section;wherein said first connector component slidably couples with said second connector component to form a wire opening capable of fully surrounding said first wire section and said second wire section.
