Abstract:
1. An electrical connector assembly comprising: a metal connector plate; a plurality of apertures in the connector plate; a plurality of set screws mounted in the connector plate, each set screw adapted to couple a conductor inserted into the associated aperture to the connector plate; an enclosure assembly adapted to selectively surround and support the connector plate and portions of the conductors coupled thereto; a plurality of ducts in the enclosure assembly, each duct being associated with one of the apertures in the connector plate and adapted to form a seal around a conductor inserted through the duct; at least one wire way guide plug adapted to be inserted into one of the ducts to seal the associated duct in the absence of a conductor in the associated duct; wherein the at least one wire way guide plug is adapted to receive a terminal end of a conductor therein to guide the conductor through the associated duct prior to coupling to the connector plate; and wherein the at least one wire way guide plug has antioxidant material inside the plug adapted to coat and protect an exposed end of the conductor inserted into the wire way guide plug.
