Abstract
An extruded one-piece electrical compression connector having a general U-shaped top section forming a first conductor receiving channel and a bottom section having two second conductor receiving channels extending into respective opposite lateral sides of the bottom section. Portions of the bottom section extend laterally outward at a lateral side aperture into each of the two second conductor receiving channels. The portions deform to close the lateral side apertures at a start of compression of the connector.
