  • Patent number: 11005195
    Abstract: An electrical connector, including a body formed from an electrically conductive material, the body defining an open channel configured to receive a first electrical conductor, at least one first threaded hole transverse to and in communication with the open channel, a plurality of bores extending toward the open channel, each bore configured to receive a second electrical conductor, and a second threaded hole associated with each bore transverse to and in communication with the associated bore. At least one first set screw is configured to mate with the at least one first threaded hole in communication with the open channel and configured to secure the first electrical conductor within the open channel. A plurality of second set screws are configured to mate with the second threaded holes in communication with an associated bore and configured to secure the second electrical conductor within the bore.

  • Patent number: 8858255
    Abstract: A distribution block assembly includes a base and a cover removably connected to the base. A first opening in the base receives a conductor and a second opening in the base removably receives a fastener to secure the conductor received in the first opening. A tab extends from the cover toward the base. A magnetic member is connected to the tab to releasably secure a fastener when the fastener is not disposed in the second opening. The magnetic member prevents movement and loss of the fastener when removed from the second opening.
