Patent ID: 8500497

Claim:
A system for joining electrical conductors comprising: a connector comprised of an elongated body having a center section and at least two tapering hollow sections each extending from the center section to terminate in a tapered end; male threads disposed on at least a portion of an exterior surface of the each hollow section; at least one compression groove disposed on the exterior surface of the tapering hollow sections; an orifice disposed in each tapered end wherein the orifice is sized slightly larger than each electrical conductor; an internal channel extending from the orifice; internal ribs disposed along the internal channel; at least one conductor stop disposed within the center section of the connector; at least one compression nut disposed on each of the hollow sections of the connector wherein each compression nut has female threads matching the male threads of the hollow section; wherein the conductor is inserted into the internal channel of the connector through the orifice until the conductor contacts the conductor stop; wherein the compression nut is tightened towards the center section to compress the at least one compression groove; wherein the compression of the at least one compression groove compresses the internal ribs against the conductor to provide 360 degree contact between connector and conductor.
