DEFINITION
Classification: 439/789
Hinged jaw type having alignable conductor receiving bores:
(under subclass 775) Electrical connector composed of male and female jaw members joined together for relative angular movement between an open, conductor-receiving position and a closed, conductor-clamping position; the jaw members having respective tails which project in a common direction and which are intended to be forced toward one another to effect the relative angular movement of the jaw members to thus produce the clamping action of the connector upon a conductor to be secured thereto; the male jaw member including a trunnionlike head formed with a cable-receiving aperture; the female jaw member including a yoke defining a socket shaped complemental to the trunnionlike head and also formed with a cable-receiving aperture; and also formed with a cable-receiving aperture; the female jaw member including a yoke defining a socket shaped complemental to the trunnionlike head and also formed with a cable-receiving aperture; whereby the head and yoke are interfitted for the relative angular movement of the jaw members between the open, conductor-receiving position where the respective apertures are aligned to enable the end of the conductor to pass therethrough and the closed, conductor-clamping position where the apertures are misaligned to crimp the inserted conductor.
