ELECTRICAL WIRE CONNECTOR

摘要

A wire conector (50) is disclosed having a C-shaped clamping member (52) an a mating wedge (54). The clamping member includes two oppositely formed rolled edges (58, 59) that form two opposing concave channels (60) for receiving a power cable (62) and the wedge for locking the cable tightly in place. A flange (74) extends from the wedge and has mounting holes (96) formed therein. A jumper cable (76) having a terminated end (78) is electrically connected to a surface (92) of the flange by means of two bolts (80) extending through holes in the terminal and the holes in the flange and two nuts (82) tightened in place. The wedge includes two opposite edges (64, 66), one having a concave surface (88) that engages the power cable and the other having a convex surface (90) that engages one of the convex channels (60) of the clamping member (52).
