ELECTRICAL CABLE CONNECTOR

摘要

A wedge connector (10) for mechanically securing two electrical cables (66) and making them electrically common is disclosed. The wedge connector (10) has a C-shaped body member (12) and a wedge (14). The body member (12) has sides (16) that converge toward a first body member end (24) from a second body member end (28). The body member (12) has edges (32) that are formed to define a pair of inwardly facing channels (34) connected by a web (38) extending between the channels (34). The wedge (14) also has converging sides (20) to be conformably received in the C-shaped body member (12). The wedge (14) has concave, outwardly facing surfaces ('54) on each side (20) connected by a web (58) extending between the sides. It also has a spring rib (50) formed in the web (58) that extends continuously from a first wedge end (26) toward a second wedge end (30).
