Abstract
An electrical connector device () for use with an elevator load bearing member () assembly includes at least one electrical connector member () for making electrically conductive contact with at least one tension member (). A clamping member () supports the electrical connector member and facilitates manipulating the connector member to pierce through a coating () over the tension members (). The clamping member () in one example has first () and second () portions received on opposite sides of the load bearing member (). An adjuster () facilitates adjusting the relative positions of the clamping member portions to urge the electrical connector member through the coating and into electrically conductive contact with the tension member.
