Abstract:
A connector is employed for bonding a locatable tracer wire with a lead wire. A base has a first receiving slot and an axial slot which intersects the receiving slot. A contact plate is slidably receivable in the axial slot and is dimensioned to accommodate a tracer wire and an insulator cover received in the receiving slot at a first axial position and to sever the cover and conductively engage the tracer at a second axial position. A fastener threadably engages the base. Upon tightening the fastener to the base, a shoulder extending from the contact plate is displaced and ultimately stopped so that the plate is disposed at the second position. The lead wire is also secured by the fastener.

Claim (Index 7):
A locatable tracer wire bonding connector comprising:\n a base having a first surface and an axially spaced second surface and defining a transverse receiving slot, said base defining an axial slot intersecting said receiving slot; a generally L-shaped member comprising a contact plate slidably receivable in said axial slot and having a shoulder, said contact plate being configured to accommodate a tracer wire and insulator cover received in said receiving slot at a first axial position and to sever said cover and conductively engage said tracer wire at a second axial portion; and a fastener threadably engageable with said base wherein upon tightening said fastener to said base, said shoulder is displaced and ultimately stopped and said plate is stably disposed at said second position.
