Abstract
A connection lug comprises an electrically conductive body, an electrically conductive blade connector extending from a first end of the body, and a cable hole located in a second end of the body configured to receive a cable. A clamping cam in the connection lug may rotate inside of the body and clamp against the cable. A screw hole may be configured to receive a clamping screw. A portion of the clamping cam may extend into the screw hole and insertion of the clamping screw into the screw hole may push against the portion of the clamping cam and rotate the clamping cam into the cable hole.
Claims15
A connection lug, comprising:
- an electrically conductive body;
- an electrically conductive blade connector extending from a first end of the body;
- a cable hole located in a second end of the body, wherein the cable hole is configured to receive a cable;
- and
- a clamping cam configured to rotate inside of the body and clamp against the cable;
- a screw hole configured to receive a clamping screw, wherein a portion of the clamping cam is configured to extend into the screw hole and a longitudinal end of the clamping screw is configured to push against a top portion of the clamping cam in a first direction and rotate a bottom portion of the clamping cam into the cable hole in a second direction opposite the first direction and wherein the clamping screw is configured to rotate about a first axis and the clamping cam is configured to rotate about a second axis perpendicular to the first axis.
A connection lug, comprising:
- an electrically conductive body;
- an electrically conductive blade connector extending from a first end of the body;
- a cable hole located in a second end of the body, wherein the cable hole is configured to receive a cable;
- a clamping cam configured to rotate inside of the body and clamp against the cable;
- and
- a screw hole configured to receive a clamping screw, wherein a portion of the clamping cam is configured to extend into the screw hole and insertion of the clamping screw into the screw hole is configured to push against the portion of the clamping cam and rotate the clamping cam into the cable hole, and wherein the screw hole is further configured to:
- extend from the first end of the body to the second end of the body;
- and
- receive an attachment screw in the first end of the body for attaching the body to a connection panel.
A connection lug, comprising:
- an electrically conductive body;
- an electrically conductive blade connector extending from a first end of the body;
- a cable hole located in a second end of the body, wherein the cable hole is configured to receive a cable;
- a clamping cam configured to rotate inside of the body and clamp against the cable;
- an additional cable hole located adjacent to the cable hole and configured to receive an additional cable;
- and
- an additional clamping cam configured to rotate inside of the body and electrically clamp the additional cable against the body.
