Connector bar
A bar connector comprises an elongate bar with a series of electrical attachment structures along a length of the elongate bar. Each wire electrical attachment structure is to secure at least one wire to the elongate bar. A flexible connector wire with two ends that connect to the elongate bar is used to establish an electrical connection between the at least one wire and a secondary distribution line by a crimp connector. A method of connecting an electrical wire with the bar connector is also claimed.

Connector
A connector comprises a connector module including an insulation body in which a chamber and a wire hole are formed, a contact received in the chamber, and an elastic clip disposed in the chamber. The elastic clip is adapted to press a conductor of a wire inserted into the chamber through the wire hole against the contact. The conductor of the wire electrically contacts the contact.
CABLE CONNECTOR PLUGS AND CABLE CONNECTOR SYSTEMS, COVER SYSTEMS AND METHODS INCLUDING SAME
A cable connector system for connecting electrical cables includes a connector and a plug. The connector includes a connector body and a shear bolt. The connector body includes a connector outer surface and a bolt bore intersecting the connector outer surface at a bore opening. The connector outer surface is curved. The shear bolt is configured to be mounted in the bolt bore to secure an electrical cable in the connector body. The plug includes a head and is configured to be mounted in the bolt bore at the bore opening. The head has a head outer surface and the head outer surface is curved.
ADJUSTABLE NEUTRAL BARS AND ADJUSTABLE NEUTRAL BAR ASSEMBLIES
An adjustable neutral bar and adjustable neutral bar assemblies are provided. The bars and bar assemblies are adjustable to a desired number of taps. The bars and bar assemblies can have mating bar ends or clips that allow for easy connection of multiple bars to one another. Additionally, the bars and bar assemblies can have shear regions that allow for easy separation of a bar at a desired location.
MULTI-USE CONNECTOR FOR TRACER WIRE
Trace wire connectors that include a cover that can be attached to a base and used to electrically interconnect two or more tracer wires without having to remove insulation from the tracer wires. The cover has multiple portals that permit one or more tracer wires to pass into an inner cavity of the cover. The base has multiple cradles on which tracer wires passing into the cavity can rest. The cover can be oriented relative to the base for use with a through tracer wire and a dead-end tracer wire, or for use with multiple dead-end tracer wires.
Pre-wired junction box with quick-connect clip electrical wire connectors
A modular junction box device that houses port sub-housings which each contain electrically-conductive connector clips that facilitate quick, push-in electrical connection of the hot, neutral and ground wires within a supply wire cable leading from a power source with the corresponding distribution wires leading to each of any number powered devices. The invention utilizes internalized push-in connectors to allow a single supply electrical wire cable (line in) to be connected to multiple distribution wire cables (lines out) without the need for a proportionate amount of internal wiring that ordinarily connects supply and distribution wires inside of a junction box.
