More Information
Summary:An electrical connector configured to maintain an electrical connection with a conductor during heating and cooling cycles is provided. The electrical connector includes connector sections, each comprising a base portion and top portion extending from the base portion. Each connector section defines a portion of a channel configured to receive one or more conductors and includes a bore in its base or top portion that communicates with the channel. A fastener inserted into the bore is configured to retain the conductor inserted into the channel, and the top portions are configured to deflect substantially independently of each other to provide a spring force that secures the fastener against the conductor.
