Easily disassembled electrical connector for high voltage, high frequency connections

A two piece electrical connector for evenly contacting a metal conductor sheet along an entire edge of the surface thereof which comprises:

• a) a first connector segment;
• said first connector segment comprising:
• i) a generally rectangular block;
• ii) a first rectangular conductor contacting surface on one side of said block to contact one surface of said metal conductor sheet;
• iii) a series of equally spaced apart parallel teeth depending from said block, each of said teeth having a camming surface thereon slanted at an angle of from about 30.degree. to about 60.degree., with respect to a plane defined by said first conductor contacting surface;
• and
• iv) a threaded hole in one end of said first connector segment;
• b) a second connector segment comprising:
• i) a generally rectangular block;
• ii) an elongated slot at one end of said second connector segment;
• iii) a second rectangular conductor contacting surface on said second block disposed parallel to and facing said first conductor contacting surface when said two connector segments are secured together;
• iv) a rectangular recess in said second block facing said slanted teeth depending from said first block and dimensioned to accept therein said slanted teeth, said rectangular recess having its longer dimension parallel to the longer dimension of said second rectangular conductor connecting surface;
• v) a series of spaced apart rods mounted in said second block bridging said recess and positioned to permit said teeth to pass between said rods, with said slanted camming surfaces on said teeth in contact with said rods;
• c) a single actuating screw passing through said elongated slot in said second connector segment and received in said threaded bore in said first connector segment to secure said first and second connector segments together;
• whereby said slanted camming surfaces on said teeth will engage said rods to urge said first connector segment toward said second connector segment in a direction perpendicular to said actuating screw axis when said actuating screw is tightened, so that said first and second conductor contacting surfaces will exert even pressure, along the entire length of said conductor contacting surfaces, against the opposite surfaces of a conductor sheet placed between said contacting surfaces of said connector.
