Abstract
An electrical connector includes a clamp body having a base, a side portion, and an upper portion. The clamp body defines a cable groove having an arched configuration configured to receive a primary conductor and an aperture for receiving a secondary conductor. A primary fastener is movably connected to the clamp body. A keeper is connected to the clamp body and moveable with the primary fastener to secure the primary conductor in the cable groove. A secondary fastener is configured to receive the secondary conductor in the aperture.
