Insulation-Piercing Connector
A cable connector assembly includes a pair of sub-assemblies movable in translation relative to each other along a clamping direction and a tightening device tightening the sub-assemblies along the clamping direction. Each of the sub-assemblies is pivotable relative to a pivot axis extending perpendicular to the clamping direction. Each of the sub-assemblies has a main housing and a clamping part at least partially housed within the main housing. The clamping part is movable in translation relative to the main housing along the clamping direction. The tightening device tightens the sub-assemblies along the clamping direction with a first clamping region formed between the sub-assemblies that receives and clamps a first cable. A secondary clamping region is formed in each of the sub-assemblies between the clamping part and the main housing that receives and clamps a secondary cable.
Wire-to-wire connector with splice contact portion

Power distribution terminal
A modular power distribution terminal includes an outer housing containing a chamber and a bottom opening. The outer housing includes a top wall, a pair of spaced end walls and a pair of spaced parallel side walls having first fasteners. At least one module slice is arranged in the outer housing chamber and includes a slice housing including a pair of spaced parallel side walls having first fasteners configured for fastening with the first fasteners of one of the outer housing side walls and a current bar connected with and extending along a length of the slice housing. An input screw connection terminal and at least two output push-in connection terminals are connected with the current bar.
FIELD ASSEMBLED MODULAR ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION DEVICE
The present invention discloses a field assembled electrical distribution device assembled from various prepackaged modular kits. The prepackaged modular kits include all of the components required for their assembly. The prepackaged modular kits, when assembled by a certified assembler using a certified method and verification means provided by the modular kit manufacturer and one or more well know third-party certifiers, meets the requirements local, national and international electrical codes and is eligible for the third-party's certification mark.
PAD EXTENDING MEMBER
A pad extender for coupling a connector coupled to a conductor cable to a lug terminal member of a transformer. The pad extender includes a planar body having a first portion and a second portion. The first portion has a first axis. The pad extender further includes an elongated slot defined in the first portion of the planar body extending parallel to the first axis. The first portion is couplable to the lug terminal member via a first fastener extending through the slot. The planar body is slidable relative to the lug terminal member along a length of the elongated slot. The pad extender further includes a plurality of apertures defined in the second portion. The connector is couplable to the second portion via a second fastener extending through one of the apertures of the second portion.
Electrical Clamps
The present disclosure provides electrical clamps that can easily attach to a variety of shaped objects, such as fence posts and other objects for the purpose of establishing an electrical connection or conductive path between the electrical clamp, an object the electrical clamp is secured to, and a conductor attached to the electrical clamp. The electrical clamp utilizes an adjustable saddle construction that can be secured to the geometry of objects, such as a square, rectangular, round or oval geometry of the object, and a clamp cap construction that can electrically couple one or more conductors to the electrical clamp.
Direct burial ground lug/ connector
The invention relates to a direct burial ground lug. The lug is preferably constructed of a phosphor bronze material. The block may have two through holes to install two conductors, rods, cables, and the like. Stainless steel threaded screws are used to hold the rod and ground conductor in a stable condition. The threaded screws insert into threaded holes positioned perpendicular to the through holes. The direct burial ground lug allows the ground rod and ground conductor to be connected for a continuous grounding system.
Enclosed connection systems for forming an enclosed connection between conductors, and methods including same
An enclosed connection system for mechanically and electrically connecting first and second cables each including an elongate electrical conductor covered by an insulation layer, includes an electrical connector, an enclosure, and a protective end cap. The electrical connector is configured to form a connection with the first and second cables wherein the conductors of the first and second cables are electrically connected by the electrical connector. The enclosure is configured to receive and cover the connection and to protect the electrical connector. The enclosure includes a plurality of enclosure ports each configured to receive a cable. The protective end cap is configured to selectively cover at least a selected one of the enclosure ports.
CABLE SEQUENCE FOR A WIRING OF AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT, METHOD FOR PRODUCTION AND USE
The disclosure relates to a cable sequence for wiring of an electrical circuit with a series arrangement of a plurality of pre-assembled cables, each of which has a first cable end and a second cable end which lies opposite the first cable end, wherein each of the pre-assembled cables has a conductor and a conductor insulation, and wherein the cable ends are processed for the wiring of an electrical circuit in such a manner that a respective conductor end is insulation-free at the first cable end and at the second cable end, and connections between adjacently arranged pre-assembled cables in the series arrangement, wherein, by means of the connections, in each case a first cable end of a pre-assembled cable, produced beforehand as free cable end, and a second cable end of a next pre-assembled cable in the series arrangement, produced beforehand as free cable end, are connected to one another. Furthermore, a method for producing a cable sequence for wiring an electrical circuit and the use of a cable sequence are provided.
