An electrical connector for crimpable connection about an electrical conductor upon application of a crimping force imparted by the opposing arcuate dies of a crimping tool. The connector includes an elongate connector body formed of a compressible material. The connector body has an elongate first planar face and an elongate second planar face. The first planar face is opposed to the second planar face. One end of the connector body is defined by an arcuate wall extending between the first planar face and the second planar face. The other end of the connector body defines a first open ended conductor receiving nest. The connector body further defines a second open ended conductor receiving nest and a third open ended conductor receiving nest whereby the second and third conductor receiving nests are located adjacent to the arcuate wall and open in substantially opposite directions. The connector body provides no more than three points of contact with the opposing dies of the crimping tool prior to crimping.

An electrical connector for connecting a pair of electrical conductors in electrically conductive and mechanical engagement includes an elongate conductive body having a generally planar face and which defines a pair of spaced-apart inwardly directed cable receiving nests for accommodating the electrical conductors in spaced apart parallel relationship. The body has an open face opposite the planar face between the cable receiving nests. The connector also includes a wedge having a first end, a second end, and an elongate wedge body therebetween. The wedge is insertable through the open face between the cable receiving nests for removable engagement with the planar face so as to retentatively urge the electrical conductors into the cable receiving nests.

An H-Tap compression connection accommodates a pair of electrical conductors. The connector includes a connector body having a nest for receipt of the conductor. The nest is defined by a bottom wall and an opposed pair of upstanding sidewalls. The sidewalls are inwardly deformable upon application of a crimping force to deform around the conductor. One of the sidewalls includes a weakened portion so that the one sidewall deforms prior to the other sidewall. This permits the sidewalls to overlap around the conductor during crimping.

A universal battery post connector for use with both positive and negative terminals on a storage battery comprises an apertured, split body and a pair of spaced opposed arms extending in parallel therefrom. The body is contractable about the battery post upon movement of the arms closer together such as by means of a conventional bolt and nut. An abutment is provided at the distal end of each arm, each abutment extending toward each other and aligned to engage when the arms are drawn closer together. The abutments have inclined opposing inner surfaces that converge toward each other and that lie obliquely relative to the axis along which the body aperture extends. Upon tightening of the nut on the bolt the inclined opposed abutment surfaces are brought into contact in a common plane, such movement providing an additional measure of contraction of the body about the battery post.

A method is disclosed of making an electrical connector. A longitudinal extent of tubing is provided which is flattened along the central extent. The central extent is then bent to place the ends at an angular disposition. One end of the tubular extent is formed into a connection terminal for connection to an external electrical device and the other end forms a barrel connection for crimping to a bared end of an electrical cable.

A compression connector accommodates an electrical conductor for crimping connection therein. The connector includes a connector body having a nest defined by a bottom wall and an opposed pair of upstanding sidewalls. The sidewalls are inwardly deformable upon application of a crimping force. A non-bendable die engagement extent is attached to the sidewall by a weakened portion thereof. Upon application of a crimping force the die engagement extent is cause to deform prior to the deformation of the other sidewall. This permits the sidewalls to overlap around the conductor during crimping.
