  • Patent number: 10886638
    Abstract: A meter box with insulation-piercing wire termination connectors is disclosed. Each connector includes a conductor receiver having an inner surface that defines a channel sized to receive an electrical power conductor comprised of a conductive wire encased within insulation. At least one protrusion projects from the inner surface of the conductor receiver into the channel and has a continuous edge spaced apart from the inner surface that is positioned to pierce the insulation and electrically contact the conductive wire when the electrical power conductor is clamped within the conductor receiver. Each connector may also include a meter jaw configured to receive a connector blade of an electric meter, wherein the meter jaw is mechanically and electrically connected to the conductor receiver.
