Abstract
A connector () is useful for making an electrically conductive connection with at least one conductive member. A disclosed example has one use for making such a connection with a tension member () in an elevator load bearing assembly (). An example connector () includes projections () having a unique configuration that withstands compressive and bending forces associated with piercing through at least a portion of a conductive member (). A disclosed example includes a generally concave surface () and a generally convex surface () along at least a portion of each projection. In a disclosed example, the projections at least partially lie on opposite sides of a centerline () of the connector ().
