The present disclosure provides descriptions of configurations for wire connectors used to splice low voltage electrical conductors or to splice high voltage electrical conductors. The wire connectors may be coupled to form a wire connector assembly. Each wire connector includes a base, a cover, a first cover coupling assembly and a second first cover coupling assembly. The base has an upper wall and a lower wall and can be divided into a first end portion, a second end portion and a central portion between the first end portion and the second end portion. The cover has a main cover member, a first movable cover member movably connected to a first side of the main cover member and a second movable cover member movably connected to a second side of the main cover member. The main cover member includes a plurality of contact chambers, where each contact chamber includes at least one electrical contact positioned within a cavity of the contact chamber. The first cover coupling assembly is associated with the first end portion of the base and the first movable cover member of the cover. The second cover coupling assembly is associated with the second end portion of the base and the second movable cover member of the cover. The cover assemblies are used to releasably couple the movable cover members to the base.
A wire connector assembly comprising:
The wire connector assembly of 2, further comprising a supplemental wire connector having a body and a movable cover movably connected to the body, the body including at least one aperture configured to receive a conductor;
A wire connector comprising:
