Abstract
A connector is attachable to an extending transformer stud. The connector includes an elongate central body having a longitudinal bore opening at one end for insertable accommodation of the transformer stud. The longitudinal bore accepts more than one size stud without increasing the size and cost needed for two separate mounting holes. The connector according to the present invention accepts the pitch of at least two different size threads and with the typical setscrew locking arrangement, maintains thread engagement on one side of the stud, securing the stud and maintaining an electrical contact area between the stud and the connector.
