Abstract

See full text

An electrical connector configured to maintain an electrical connection with a conductor during heating and cooling cycles is provided. The electrical connector includes a base portion and an arm extending from the base portion. The arm and the base portion combine to define an opening configured to receive the conductor, and one of the arm and the base portion defines a bore communicating with the opening. A fastener inserted into the bore is configured to retain the conductor inserted into the opening, and the arm is configured to deflect to provide a spring force that secures the fastener against the conductor during the heating and cooling cycles.
