Abstract
An electrical wire connector and methods of use to provide an apparatus for multi-wire connector having one or more connector modules position side-by-side, each module having a stacked first wire gripper positioned in a casing, as an upper levered latch having a cam rotationally connected with the first wire gripper, and rotatable between a wire release position and a wire grip position, a second wire gripper positioned in the casing below said first wire gripper, a lower levered latch having a cam rotationally connected with the second wire gripper, and rotatable between a wire release position and a wire grip position, and a U-shaped conduit positioned between the first wire gripper and the second wire gripper to make an electrical connection therebetween.
Claims18
A multi-wire connector apparatus to electrically connect a plurality of wire ends to another plurality of wire ends, said apparatus comprising:
- one or more stacked connector modules position side-by-side, each module having an upper lever having a cam connected thereto and rotationally operable with an upper wire gripper, said upper wire gripper rotatable between a wire release position and a wire grip position, a lower lever having a cam connected thereto and rotationally operable with a lower wire gripper, said lower wire gripper rotatable between a wire release position and a wire grip position;
- and
- a conductor positioned between said upper wire gripper and said lower wire gripper to make an electrical connection therebetween.
A multi-wire splitter apparatus to electrically connect one wire end to another two wire ends, said apparatus comprising:
- one stacked connector module, having a first upper lever having a cam connected thereto and rotationally operable with a first upper wire gripper, said first upper wire gripper rotatable between a wire release position and a wire grip position, a lower lever having a cam connected thereto and rotationally operable with a lower wire gripper, said lower wire gripper rotatable between a wire release position and a wire grip position;
- a second upper lever having a cam connected thereto and rotationally operable with a second upper wire gripper, said second upper wire gripper rotatable between a wire release position and a wire grip position;
- and
- a conductor positioned between said first upper wire gripper, said second upper wire gripper, and said lower wire gripper to make an electrical connection therebetween.
A multi-wire splitter apparatus to electrically connect one wire end to another three wire ends, said apparatus comprising:
- one stacked connector module, having a first upper lever having a cam connected thereto and rotationally operable with a first upper wire gripper, said first upper wire gripper rotatable between a wire release position and a wire grip position, a lower lever having a cam connected thereto and rotationally operable with a lower wire gripper, said lower wire gripper rotatable between a wire release position and a wire grip position;
- a second upper lever having a cam connected thereto and rotationally operable with a second upper wire gripper, said second upper wire gripper rotatable between a wire release position and a wire grip position;
- a third upper lever having a cam connected thereto and rotationally operable with a third upper wire gripper, said third upper wire gripper rotatable between a wire release position and a wire grip position;
- and
- a conductor positioned between said first upper wire gripper, said second upper wire gripper, said third upper wire gripper, and said lower wire gripper to make an electrical connection therebetween.
