ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE: The disclosure relates to an electrical connector for use in conjunction with cables which, according to a first embodiment thereof, includes a C-shaped member having a pair of internally threaded bosses or sleeves on opposite ends and sides thereof. The wedge includes a flange secured to the wider top end thereof and having apertures at opposite ends of the flange for receiving threaded bolts which are threaded into the bosses. The flange is positioned at an angle to the C-member such that the channels are exposed for reception of cables therein. When the cables are positioned in the channels, the bolt heads are rotated, causing the flange and the wedge secured thereto to move into the C-member and provide a crushing action between cable and connector. In accordance with a second embodiment of the invention, there is again provided a C-shaped member having an outwardly extending flange at a rear portion thereof with a bolt receiving aperture in the flange. The wedge includes a sleeve and a nut receiving and retaining region within the sleeve. The bolt is always threaded to the nut to retain the connector members together, the wedge and C-member being sufficiently displaced in the fully disconnected portion to permit entry of cables into the channels of the C-members. To provide the connection the bolt is rotated in the nut to travel downwardly into the 14278 sleeve. The head of the bolt impinges against the flange of the wedge and drives the wedge into the C-member to provide the crushing action between cable and cable or between cable and connector. 14278
