Abstract: A tap connector for tapping branch conductors to conductors of a bus cable has an insulating base, a plurality of tap contacts retained in the base and an insulating cover. Each contact is a flat metal plate having three parallel, closely spaced legs extending from one edge. The two outer legs lie in a common plane and the center leg lies in a plane parallel to the common plane and is offset therefrom creating conductor connection slots between the center leg and each of the outer legs for a conductor of a bus cable and a tapping branch conductor at an angle to the bus conductor.
