Abstract:
The present disclosure provides embodiments of compression-type electrical connectors used to connect one or more branch wires or conductors to one or more run wires or conductors.

Claim (Index 1):
An electrical compression connector for connecting a plurality of conductors, the compression connector comprising:\n a connector body of compressible material adapted to be inserted into a crimping tool having two opposed curved die surfaces for the compression of the connector body, the connector body having a run conductor portion and a branch conductor portion; wherein the run conductor portion includes a pair of side walls joined by a bottom wall, and a run conductor opening between the pair of side walls and the bottom wall; and wherein the branch conductor portion includes at least one branch conductor opening having a lead-in with a rib on each side of the lead-in, and a hinge portion between the branch conductor opening and the connector body such that when force is applied by the crimping tool to the connector body, the hinge portion of the connector body compresses first to secure one or more branch conductors positioned in the at least one branch conductor opening to the connector body, and when additional force is applied by the crimping tool to the connector body the connector body is compressed around at least one run conductor positioned in the run conductor opening.
