Abstract
An electrical connector of the type which includes a rectangular sleeve folded from a flat blank and a pair of screws penetrating one side of the sleeve to clamp electrical wires against an opposite side of the sleeve is protected against distortion by the provision of a dovetail slot in one side intersecting an edge of that side and the provision of a complementary dovetail on a side of the rectangular connector sleeve which meets the side having the dovetail slot at the edge intersected by the dovetail slot so that the complementary dovetail may be folded into the dovetail slot to resist unfolding. The dovetail slot and complementary dovetail are so oriented that the force of tightening the screws against the electrical wires or other conductors is resisted by the dovetail so that the rectangular sleeve cannot unfold. This allows the screws to develop more clamping force against the electrical conductor making a better, neater and safer connection.
