An electrical connector adapted to electrically and mechanically connect a main conductor to a bail or tap conductor includes a C-shaped frame having a curved top wall adapted to fit over a main conductor and a curved bottom wall adapted to receive a bail or tap conductor. A fastener-operated wedge assembly is carried within the frame between a conductor receiving position and a conductor clamping position. The wedge assembly has a wedge body with a primary contact surface adapted to contact the main conductor and a secondary contact surface adapted to contact the bail or tap conductor when the wedge body is moved from the conductor receiving position to the conductor clamping position. The fastener positively moves the wedge body between the positions so that the clamping action of the connector can be tightened or loosened as desired.

Wedge cable connector

A locking member particularly adapted to lock a cover onto an electrical connector which connects an electrical transmission conductor to a distribution conductor is provided. The locking member includes a tip portion, a gripping portion, a holding portion, and a head portion, where the tip portion has a smaller cross-sectional area than the gripping portion and where the head portion is a widest portion of the locking member. The present disclosure is also directed insulating cover assemblies that include an insulating cover and a locking member contemplated by the present disclosure.

Cover and locking member for electrical devices

The present disclosure provides embodiments of a tool adapted to electrically and mechanically connect an electrical connector to electrical conductors using an extendable reach tool. The tool permits one or more lineman to remotely connect an electrical connector to electrical conductors. The tool includes a glide track assembly, a connector holding member, a gear assembly and a fastener head driver.
