Connector (10) terminatable to a power cable (12) for tapping thereof, and having a housing (20), a clamp member (40) and an actuator (80) all linked by fasteners (100) when assembled around a length of the cable (12). Actuation of the actuator (80) urges the housing (20) toward and against the clamp member (40) with cable (12) nestled in a channel therebetween defined by grooves (30,44). IDC contacts (22) of the housing (20) extend toward cable (12) within groove (30) and establish terminations with respective conductors (14) of the power cable upon termination. The actuator (80) is cradled between slotted arms (48) of the clamp member and includes a cam (82) bearing against the clamp member when actuated to move the actuator away from the clamp member, with links (100) carried thereby and in turn pulling the housing against the clamp member.
