597100 Disclosed is an electrical connector assembly (300) for mechanically and electrically connecting, or tapping, high voltage conductors (302, 304), or cables. The assembly includes a first conductive member (308) and a second conductive member (306). The first conductive member includes a first channel portion (352) extending from a first wedge portion (350), with the first channel portion configured to receive a first conductor therein. The first conductive member further includes a jaw (374) movably coupled to the first channel portion and is positioned between the first channel portion and the first wedge portion. Similarly, the second conductive member includes a second channel portion (312) extending from a second wedge portion (310), whereby the second channel portion is configured to receive a second conductor. The first wedge portion and the second wedge portion are assembled such that the second wedge portion engages the jaw and moves the jaw to the closed position. The jaw engages the first conductor in the closed position. |
