Abstract:
A captive shear bolt assembly includes a bolt and a shear coupling. The bolt may have a head, an extension, and a shank. The shear coupling may be configured to be received by the extension. The shear coupling may be configured to receive the extension via an orifice in the shear coupling. The shear coupling may be configured to shear when an upper head of the shear coupling is driven at a threshold torque. When the shear coupling has sheared, the extension may be configured to captively secure the upper head to the bolt. The captive shear bolt assembly may be used in a tap connector for electrically connecting a main conductor to a tap conductor.

Claim (Index 2):
The captive shear bolt assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising a screw, wherein the bolt further includes a threaded stud having the cavity, the threaded stud configured to receive a cap nut that defines an orifice therethrough, the orifice and the cavity configured to receive the screw, and wherein the threaded stud comprises the shear section such that the threaded stud is configured to shear when the cap nut is driven at the threshold torque, and wherein the screw is configured to captively secure the cap nut to the bolt when the shear section has sheared.
