Claim:
An electrical tap connector comprising: a housing forming a first attachment section aligned with a second attachment section; said first attachment section forming a first conductor receiving orifice into a first conductor receiving channel; said second attachment section forming a second conductor receiving orifice into a second conductor receiving channel; a first pair of opposed and offset screw receiving orifices formed by said housing portion about said first attachment section; a second pair of opposed and offset screw receiving orifices formed by said housing portion about said second attachment section; and a set screw threadingly engaged with each said screw receiving orifice; wherein each pair of screw receiving orifices are laterally offset from a centerline of any conductor inserted into either conductor receiving orifice such that when each screw receiving orifice is threadingly engaged with said set screw, any conductor inserted there in is effectively “crimped” in-situ.
