Abstract: An electrical connector includes a socket adapted to receive an end of an electrical conductor (32). The socket comprises an open channel member (14) into which the end of the conductor (32) may be laid, a cover member (22) which together with the open channel member (14) surrounds the end of the conductor (32), and a sleeve member (26) fitting, in use, around the open channel member (14) and the cover member (22). The cover member (22) and the sleeve member (26) have corresponding apertures (24,28) which together constitute a threaded bore through which extends a locking screw (29) for releasably securing the end of the electrical conductor (32) to the open channel member (14).
