Abstract: A breakaway threaded fastener is provided. The fastener has a stud, a pin, and a cap. The stud has a hollow cavity with a closed end, an open end, a wall, and an outer surface. The outer surface has an external thread. The pin is in the hollow cavity. The pin has a first end at the closed end of the stud and a second end extending above the open end of the stud. The cap has another hollow cavity with a closed end, an open end, and an internal thread. The cap is threadably engaged to the open end of the stud via the internal and external threads so that the second end of the pin abuts the closed end of the cap.

Abstract: A hot stick installation accessory is provided. The accessory includes a cap portion and a moving section. The cap portion has a region that removably holds an electrical coupling component. The moving section slides with respect to the cap portion between an open and a closed position and pivots with respect to the cap portion between a first position and a second position. The moving section includes a threaded member that is engageable by a hook of a hot stick so that rotation of the hot stick, and thus of the hook, results in rotation of the threaded member into threaded engagement with the moving section to move the moving section between the open and closed positions.

Abstract: A fastener for connecting an electrical conductor to a connector body includes a first portion adapted to engage an opening of the connector body and a second portion engaging the first portion. The second portion includes a head, a base coupled to the first portion and including an end adapted to engage the electrical conductor, and a shearable section positioned between the head and the base.

Abstract: An alignment member is provided for an electrical connector that provides electrical communication between a plurality of electrical conductors. The alignment member includes a first portion adapted to engage an opening of the connector block; a passageway for receiving one of the electrical conductors; and a second portion that is movable to adjust a dimension of the passageway.

Abstract: A hot stick installation accessory is provided. The accessory includes a main housing, a base, and a tool. The main housing has a holding region that holds an electrical component. The base can be removably secured to a body of the hot stick. The base is connected to the main housing for rotation about an axis parallel to the hot stick. The tool is secured to the base so that the tool moves along the axis and is operative alignment with a first area of the holding region. The tool is securable to a hook of the hot stick so that rotation of the hot stick, and thus of the hook, results in rotation of the tool with respect to the main housing.
