An electrical connector, including a body formed from an electrically conductive material, the body defining an open channel configured to receive a first electrical conductor, at least one first threaded hole transverse to and in communication with the open channel, a plurality of bores extending toward the open channel, each bore configured to receive a second electrical conductor, and a second threaded hole associated with each bore transverse to and in communication with the associated bore. At least one first set screw is configured to mate with the at least one first threaded hole in communication with the open channel and configured to secure the first electrical conductor within the open channel. A plurality of second set screws are configured to mate with the second threaded holes in communication with an associated bore and configured to secure the second electrical conductor within the bore.

A folded outer tab comprises a first outer dielectric layer and a second outer dielectric layer that contact or overlie an outer terminal, where the outer terminal is associated with a first polarity of the DC bus. A bent inner tab comprises a first inner dielectric layer and a second inner dielectric layer that contact or overlie an inner terminal, where the inner terminal is associated with a second polarity of the DC bus that is opposite the first polarity. The folded outer tab and the bent inner tab comprise electrically conductive faces, of opposite polarities, formed of exposed portions of the outer terminal and the inner terminal.

A connector includes a clamping member, a base, and a body. A first channel is formed between the clamping member and the body, and at least one second channel is formed between the base and the body. The positions of the base and the body relative to one another and relative to the clamping member are adjustable to modify the size of the first channel and the second channel. Insulation-piercing members electrically connect a conductor in the first channel to one or more conductors in the second channel(s).

An electrical connection device for an electrical apparatus includes a connection pad and two attachment flanges arranged on either side of the connection pad. The attachment flanges and the connection pad include opposing cavities for delimiting four recesses capable of receiving at most four conductors. A pass-through clamping mechanism, formed by two lateral tie rods and a central rod, passes through the assembly constituted by superposition of the attachment flanges and the connection pad. The lateral tie rods include a support abutment arranged between the connection pad and one of the attachment flanges so that it is possible to differentiate the tightening, recess by recess, facilitating the placing of the conductors, the conductors being able to have different diameters.

A mechanical grounding clamp includes a body, having an upper plate defining a threaded hole therethrough and having an outer surface, a lower plate spaced apart from the upper plate and having an inner surface, and a connecting plate connecting the upper plate to the lower plate, a set screw mateable with the threaded hole in the upper plate and having a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end extendable through the threaded hole of the upper plate and toward the inner surface of the lower plate. There may be a nut on the set screw for driving toward the upper plate to secure a grounding conductor to the body.

Various implementations of grounding cross connectors are disclosed. The grounding cross connectors may be used to clamp together two or more, often perpendicular, conductors. In some implementations, a grounding cross connector includes an upper clamping pad and a lower clamping pad held together by a pair of threaded fasteners. A pair of perpendicular conductors may be placed in between the clamping pads and secured together by torqueing nuts on the threaded fasteners. The upper clamping pad may include a hook through which one of the threaded fasteners may pass, thereby allowing the upper clamping to rotate relative to the lower clamping pad.
