Abstract

A conductor connector assembly for connecting a ground conductor or the like to a U-shaped top hat rail, including a first sheet metal member (1) arranged for seated engagement transversely across the outwardly directed flange portions at the free ends of the legs of the top hat rail, a second sheet metal member (2) adjacent the first member and including at each end a hook portion (16) adapted to extend below the associated flange portion, and a screw device (3) for displacing the second member upwardly relative to the first member, thereby to clamp the rail flange portions between the first and second sheet metal members. A guide arrangement is provided for guiding the members for vertical movement relative to each other.
