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.

A multiplex connecting device capable of switching to a single connector includes a first connector, a second connector, and an outer housing assembly. The outer housing assembly includes a first shell and a second shell. The first shell and the second shell respectively cover the outside of the first connector and the second connector. The outer housing assembly can move on the first connector and the second connector, and switch to use a single connector (one of the first connector and the second connector). Accordingly, multiple connectors are integrated into one component.

A pad extender for connecting a conductor cable to a transformer. The pad extender includes a planar body including a first portion and a second portion. The pad extender further includes a pair of through-openings defined in the first portion of the planar body. Each of the pair of through-openings is configured to receive two fasteners. The pad extender further includes at least one aperture defined in the second portion of the planar body. The planar body is slidable relative to the transformer along the pair of through-openings.

An electrical connector housing has a plurality of socket cavities configured to receive single terminal inserts or bus inserts introduced from a rearward section. At least one row of socket cavities is formed as cylindrical cavities extending in the housing in parallel manner along an insertion direction running from the rearward to the forward section. Adjacent cavities in the row are separated by a partition wall. First locking means are provided in the socket cavities for locking in place a single terminal insert arranged in a given cavity. Second locking means are provided for locking in place a bus insert inserted in a corresponding number of socket cavities. The partition walls comprise, in the rearward section, slots extending in the insertion direction to accommodate the bus plate of the bus insert.

An apparatus and method for enabling removable coupling of conducting lines in a powerline assembly is disclosed. In one embodiment, a dead-end shoe apparatus is disclosed that comprises a capping mechanism, coupling mechanism, and connection clamp, the connection clamp facilitating the removable coupling of conducting lines of variable diameters to the apparatus. In another embodiment, a method of selectively transmitting electricity in a powerline assembly is disclosed, wherein conducting lines are removably coupled to dead-end shoe apparatuses to facilitate the transmission.

A cable connector includes a twin-axial cable having a first conductor and a second conductor within a core of the cable. The cable connector includes first and second signal contacts including cable terminals terminated to the conductors and substrate terminals generally perpendicular to the cable terminals and terminated to a substrate. The cable connector includes a contact holder having a body encasing portions of the first and second signal contacts. The contact holder has a front and a rear, and a top and a bottom. The cable terminals are arranged proximate to the rear for termination to the cable. The cable extends from the rear of the contact holder. The substrate terminals are exposed at the bottom for termination to the substrate.
