Electrical terminal splice

An electrical terminal splice of two or more wires in electrical connection, comprising:

• a center lug including a hollow body projecting along a longitudinal axis, first and second ends and an interior surface, the first end including an opening operative for insertion of one of respective wires into contact with the interior surface, the second end including a center lug mounting flange projecting longitudinally from the hollow body and angled from the longitudinal axis thereof;
• at least one side lug having a hollow housing including an open end operative for receiving an electrical wire within the housing and further including a mounting end formed with a side lug mounting flange projecting therefrom;
• at least one depression formed on the center lug body adjacent the center lug mounting flange operative to provide clearance for respective side lug housings;
• and
• the center lug mounting flange positioned in abutment with at least one side lug mounting flange and fastened thereto at a mounting point disposed to project the center lug body and side lug housing in a generally parallel relationship from the mounting point.

A splice cap for holding the end of a wire and fastening to an adjacent cap body, comprising:

• a cylindrical hollow body including a first and second end;
• a flange mounted diametrically centered to the first end defining a flange base, the flange further mounted projecting longitudinally away from the body;
• one or more depressions positioned adjacent the flange base operative to provide clearance for the adjacent cap body;
• and
• the second end providing an entrance for passage of the wire into the hollow body.

A compressor unit including an electrical connection for use within a motor connection box, comprising:

• a motor;
• at least three electrical lines including line ends in electrical connection with the motor leading into the motor connection box;
• and
• an electrical splice in the motor connection box including at least one center cap including a center cap housing for housing one of the electrical line ends, the center cap housing further including a least two depressions formed on said housing operative to provide clearance for side housings and a center lug mounting flange projecting longitudinally from the center cap housing and angled from the longitudinal axis thereof, the splice further including respective side lugs with side lug housings and flanges positioned on respective sides of the center cap mounting flange and fastened thereto at a mounting point disposed to project respective housings in a generally parallel relationship from the mounting point, the side lugs each respectively housing another electrical line.
