Abstract
A wedge component (1) for an electrical tap connector employed for the connection of conductors (5) of electrical distribution networks. The wedge (1) is generally trapezoidal in shape, can be manufactured of aluminum, and includes a lowering (2) and a reinforcement projection (3) longitudinally extending between side grooves (4,4'). The wedge (1) is lightweight, inexpensive, and strong since the reinforcement projection (3) provides strength for the tap connector wedge component (1) when it is applied to the conductors (5).
