Electrical connector

An electrically conductive fork comprising:

• first and second conductor means for transferring electrical current from a first busbar to a second busbar, the first and second conductor means each comprising:
• means for contacting the first busbar, and
• pivot means coupled to the contacting means, the pivot means for receiving a rod connected to the second busbar and for pivoting around the rod;
• and
• connector means for mechanically connecting the first conductor means and the second conductor means in fixed relation to each other prior to insertion of the first busbar between the contacting means of the first and second conductor means, and for yielding to a force imparted on the connector means and allowing the pivot means of the first and second conductor means to pivot around the rod in response to insertion of the first busbar between the contacting means, the insertion of the bus bar causing the contacting means to separate and causing the pivot means of the first and second conductor means to pivot around the rod and impart the force on the connector means.
