Abstract
The multi-tap pad connector includes an integral conductive body with a longitudinal axis. A threaded female blind aperture is formed about a portion of the longitudinal axis for receiving the output from a secondary side of a transformer or similar electrical source. The body further includes a plurality of secondary electrical connection channels which are oriented perpendicularly with respect to the longitudinal axis. Oblique flanges are formed over the secondary electrical connection channels and include threaded apertures therethrough. The threaded apertures are directed to the secondary electrical connection channels. Allen set screws pass through the threaded apertures and into the secondary electrical connections channels to secure the secondary connectors both electrically and mechanically to the multi-tap pad connector.
