Abstract: A ground strap shield connection includes a body member disposed between an insulation layer and a ground shield of a first cable. The body member has a first tapered portion and a first threaded portion on an outer surface thereof. A cap member has a second tapered portion and a second threaded portion on an inner surface thereof. The ground shield of the first cable is disposed between the first and second tapered portions of the body member and the cap member when the first and second threaded portions are engaged. A ground strap has a first end connected to the cap member and a second end connectable to another ground strap of another ground strap shield connector connected to a second cable.

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: An electrical splice connector comprising a frame, at least one set of cooperating wedge members movably mounted to the frame, and a first spring connected between a first one of the wedge members and the frame. The wedge members have opposing sides adapted to contact opposite sides of an electrical conductor. The spring extends at least partially along a length of the first wedge member.

Abstract: An electrical wedge connector comprising a shell, and a wedge. The shell defines a wedge receiving passage therein. The wedge is shaped to wedge against the shell when inserted into the wedge receiving passage. The wedge has a conductor receiving channel therein for receiving and fixedly holding a conductor in the shell when the wedge is wedged into the shell. The shell has first portion with a first flexure stiffness generating a first clamping force on the wedge when the wedge is wedged in the first portion of the shell. The shell has a second portion with a second flexure stiffness generating a second clamping force on the wedge when the wedge is wedged in the second portion of the shell.

Abstract: An electrical connector comprising a frame; and a first set of clamping sliders comprising a first claming clamping slider movably connected to the frame, and a second clamping slider movably connected to the frame. The first and second sliders are located opposite each other with a first conductor receiving area therebetween. The first and second sliders have slide paths along the frame which are angled relative to each other. The slide path of the second slider is substantially parallel to a center longitudinal axis of the conductor receiving area.
