US Patent:

41481364, Apr 10, 1979

Filed:

May 20, 1977

Appl. No.:

5/798899

Inventors:

William T. Waddington - Fanwood NJ
Harold F. Jenkins - Irvington NJ
Paul T. Filak - Roselle Park NJ

Assignee:

Amerace Corporation - New York NY

International Classification:

H01R 4300

US Classification:

29629

Abstract:

A tubular electrical connector having first and second tubular contact members spaced from one another to establish a gap between them and joined in a unitary structure by a strap unitary with corresponding wall portions of the tubular contact members and bridging the gap, a contact bar bridging the gap and secured in each tubular contact member, and a clamping screw for securing a conductor in each tubular contact member against the contact bar. The gap receives a complementary projection on a terminal block to locate and secure the connector in a terminal block assembly. The connector is fabricated by providing and then bending a metal blank along prescribed boundaries, welding along confronting edges, subsequent to bending, and then locating and securing the contact bar in place.
