The second section is movably located on the threaded post and configured to directly contact and clamp a conductor towards the pedestal.

Abstract: A hand-held hydraulic tool including a hydraulic drive system comprising a pump; and a user control system for at least partially controlling operation of the hydraulic tool. The user control system includes a first user control at a first location having a first pump activation control switch and a first hydraulic drive system drain control switch, and a second user control at a second location having a second pump activation control switch and a second hydraulic drive system drain control switch. The hydraulic tool is adapted to be controlled by a user at either of the first or the second locations.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an electrical connector frame member. The electrical connector frame member includes a first leg section, a conductor receiving section, and a wedge section. The first leg section is configured to be connected to an electrical isolator. The conductor receiving section is connected to the first leg section. The conductor receiving section is configured to receive an electrical conductor. The wedge section extends from the conductor receiving section. The wedge section is integrally formed with the conductor receiving section and comprises a wedge connector shell contact surface. The wedge connector shell contact surface is angled relative to the conductor receiving section.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a crimp die holder. The crimp die holder includes a main body portion, a pin, and a spring. The main body portion includes a first recess, a second recess, and an opening. The first recess extends from a first side of the main body portion to a middle section of the main body portion. The second recess extends from a second side of the main body portion to the middle section. The opening extends from a third side of the main body portion and through a section of the second recess. The pin is disposed within the opening. The pin includes a first portion along a length of the pin. The first portion of the pin is configured to engage with a portion of a crimp die at the section of the second recess. The spring is between the main body portion and the pin.

Abstract: An electrical connector element including a first section and a second section. The first section has a general hook shape with a first conductor contact surface on an inward facing surface of the general hook shape. The second section is integrally formed with the first section. The second section has a first side forming a second conductor contact surface and an opposite second side. The second side faces the first conductor contact surface. The second side is sized and shaped to slidably interlock directly with another electrical connector element. The second side has at least one wedging surface.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an electrical connector assembly. The electrical connector assembly includes a connector member, a wedge sleeve, a wedge, and outer sleeve, and an inner sleeve. The connector member has a first end section and a second end section. The wedge sleeve has a general tube shape. The wedge sleeve includes a front end and a rear end. The front end of the wedge sleeve is mounted onto the second end section of the connector member. The wedge is configured to be located between the wedge sleeve and a core member of a cable. The outer sleeve is located around the wedge sleeve. The outer sleeve has a front end which is attached onto the connector member. The inner sleeve is configured to be fitted between the outer sleeve and the cable. An outer surface of the inner sleeve comprises a first knurled area.

Abstract: An electrical connector including a pair of connector bars and a pair of biting pads. The connecting bars are configured to be located on opposite sides of a plate section of a first member. The connector bars include holes to receive a bolt for clamping the connector bars directly against each other. The pair of biting pads are connected to the connector bars. The biting pads include surfaces which are configured to contact the opposite sides of the plate section and bite onto the opposite sides as the connector bars are clamped against each other.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an electrical connector. The electrical connector includes an upper pad, a lower pad, a fastener, and a spring. The upper pad includes a first upper groove, a second upper groove, and an upper hole. The upper hole extends through the upper pad between the first upper groove and the second upper groove. The lower pad includes a first lower groove, a second lower groove, and an elongated hole. The elongated hole extends through the lower pad between the first lower groove and the second lower grove. The fastener extends through the upper hole and the elongated hole. The spring is between the fastener and the lower pad. The spring is configured to bias the upper pad and the lower pad towards each other. The lower pad is configured to be pivotable around the fastener, and relative to the upper pad, at the elongated hole.

Abstract: An electrical connector union coupler assembly including a coupling subassembly and a collet retainer. The coupling subassembly includes a coupling sleeve rotatably connected to a coupling body.
