Abstract: A backplane and sled connector assembly includes a backplane connector and a sled connector which are configured to be mated together. The backplane connector is configured to be mounted to a backplane 26 and the sled connector is configured to be mounted to a sled. When the backplane connector, the sled connector, the backplane and the sled are mated together, the backplane and the sled are parallel.

Abstract: A container insert having at least two primary pieces, wherein one of the pieces includes keying features that may be replaceable with other pieces having different keying features. A related single piece container insert includes multiple keying features formed on the interior and exterior surfaces of the container insert. A related coupling assembly includes a venting system that vents a fluid into the container after a valve in the coupling assembly, which is positioned in the container contents flow path, has been opened.

Abstract: An electrical power connection block housing including a first housing piece and a second housing piece. The first housing piece forms at least a portion of a first exterior side of the block housing. An interior side of the first housing piece has a first slot shaped bus bar mounting area. The second housing piece is connected to the first housing piece. The second housing piece has a portion with a first side located directly opposite the interior side of the first housing piece and a second slot shaped bus bar mounting area on the first side of the second housing piece. The first and second housing pieces form a first bus bar receiving area with the first and second bus bar mounting areas located generally opposite each other on opposite sides of the receiving area for capturing a bus bar therebetween.

Abstract: An electrical conductor splice connector including a body; conductor contacting wedges movably mounted on the body; and at least one wedge movement anti-reverse clip connected to the body and contacting one of the wedges. The anti-reversing clip includes an anti-reversing tab, a removal tab, a notch therebetween, and a wedge stop tab for limiting reward movement of the wedges on the body.

Abstract: An electrical conductor splice connector including a body comprising a bottom wall and lateral side walls which form a wedge and conductor receiving area; and conductor contacting wedges movably mounted on the body in the wedge and conductor receiving area. The body comprises at least one slot in a first one of the lateral side walls which is sized and shaped to receive a tip of a screwdriver and form a lever base for the screwdriver. A shaft of the screwdriver can be levered at the lever base against at least one of the wedges to position and seat the wedge against a conductor.

Abstract: An electrical wedge connector intermediate member comprising a main section and at least one connecting section. The main section has conductor contact surfaces on opposite sides of the main section. The at least one connecting section is adapted to connect a separate outer conductor support to the main section. A conductor can be clamped between one of the conductor contact surfaces of the main section and the outer conductor support connected to the at least one connecting section.

Abstract: An electrical wedge connector comprising a shell, a wedge section sized and shaped for being inserted into the shell, and at least one elongated bar element. The wedge section is inserted into the shell for connecting two electrical conductors to each other. The wedge section has at least one passageway formed therethrough. The elongated bar element is mounted to the wedge section. The elongated bar element is located in said at least one passageway of the wedge section. The elongated bar element has piercing protrusions for effecting an electrical connection between each of the two conductors and the elongated bar. The wedge section includes at least one stop member for retaining the elongated bar element to the wedge section in at least one direction.
