Abstract
The invention comprises an electrical connector with a clamp member having two opposing channels for receiving conductors therein. The channels extend longitudinally along a length of the clamp member. The opposing channels are connected together by an intermediate portion. The intermediate portion has a web and an inner loop to provide inherent resiliency in the clamp member. The connector also has a wedge member to be received within the clamp member between the opposed channels. The wedge member is driven within the clamp member in a lateral direction by a bolt. The bolt connects the clamp member to the wedge member.
