A high strength moment frame connector system is used to connect beams and columns. The moment frame connector system includes a shear tab connected between the column and beam, and a pair of T-shaped connectors connected between the column and beam. Each T-shaped connector includes a first section affixed to the column and a second section affixed to upper and lower flanges of the beam. The first section includes a notch to prevent interference between the T-shaped connector, the shear tab and/or bolted connections for those components.
