APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL CONNECTION

摘要

An apparatus for engaging an electrical conductor comprises a gripping contact (15) having a plurality of fingers (16), where the plurality of fingers has a substantially conical outer surface A contact receptacle (10) has a substantially conical inner surface A tension member (30) urges the gripping contact toward the contact receptacle such that interaction between the substantially conical outer surface and the substantially conical inner surface forces the plurality of fingers to engagingly compress the electrical conductor placed between the fingers And a method of engaging the electrical conductor
