Abstract:
A ground connector capable of being crimped, comprising:a conductive deformable body comprising a pair of legs at opposite ends of the body defining a generally U-shaped configuration; the body having an open ended slot defined by a lower end and opposed side walls extending upwardly from a center portion of the body on each leg, the slot being adapted to receive a bus bar for electrical crimp connection; a plurality of inwardly teeth extending from each of the side walls into said slot to establish electrical crimp connection between the bus bar and the body; the body at the lower end of the open ended slot having a pair of spaced apart outwardly angled cut outs to allow the body to deform into a secure crimp connection to the bus bar; a central cut out between said pair of angled cut outs, wherein said central cut out being adapted to receive at least one conductor therein for crimp connection to said body; a pair of spaced apertures, each said aperture being adapted to receive at least one said conductor therein so that when the opposite ends of the body are deformed to crimp the bus bar, the conductors are crimped to the body.
