Abstract
An electrical connector assembly includes a first conductive member having a first hook portion and a first base portion, wherein the first hook portion extends from the first base portion, and a second conductive member having a second hook portion and a second base portion, wherein the second hook portion extends from the second base portion. A wedge member is nested between the first and second base portions, wherein the wedge member is movable in a loading direction. The wedge member drives the first and second base portions away from one another as the wedge member is moved in the loading direction. The first hook portion and the second base portion cooperate to securely engage a first conductor therebetween, and the second hook portion and the first base portion cooperate to securely engage a second conductor therebetween.
