<p>An electrical connector comprises a connector body (1) including a socket for an electrical conductor (3), the connector body (1) having an electrically insulating shroud (12) and having a threaded bore (4) in which a connecting bolt (5) is threadedly engaged. The connecting bolt (5) is capable of actuation into engagement with a conductor (3) inserted into the socket by means of a drive member (7) engaged with the connecting bolt (5) and extending through an opening in the insulating shroud (12) to a rotatable, electrically insulating cap (10). The connecting bolt (5) is slidably mounted on the drive member (7), the drive member (7) being adapted to shear at a position between the opening in the insulating shroud (12) and the point of engagement of the drive member (7) with the connecting bolt (5) when a predetermined torque is applied to the drive member (7), such that the cap (10) and a residual portion (8) of the drive member (7) attached thereto can be withdrawn from the opening in the insulating shroud (12). The opening in the insulating shroud (12) is adapted substantially to close after the drive member has so sheared and been withdrawn.</p> |
