Multi-tap pad mount connector

An electrical connector including:

• an integral conductive body member with a longitudinal axis;
• means in said body member for receiving a primary electrical connection said means for receiving said primary electrical connection is along or substantially parallel to said longitudinally axis;
• a plurality of secondary electrical connection channels in said body member perpendicular to said longitudinal axis;
• a plurality of flanges, each of said flanges of said plurality of flanges being oriented over a respective secondary electrical connection channel at an oblique angle to the longitudinal axis;
• means for electrically and mechanically securing a secondary electric connector in a respective secondary electrical connection channel;
• said plurality of secondary electrical connection channels having respective openings adjacent respective flanges for receiving secondary electrical connector in a laid in manner;
• and
• said secondary electrical connection channels of said plurality of secondary electrical connection channels are positioned in a row one adjacent to the next, each having a curved portion with a center of curvature, wherein said centers of curvature lie in a common plane.
