Abstract
An electrical connector assembly includes a first conductive member having a first hook portion extending from a first base wedge portion and adapted to engage a first conductor, and a second conductive member having a second hook portion extending from a second wedge portion and adapted to engage a second conductor. The first wedge portion and the second wedge portion are adapted to nest with one another and be secured to one another. Each of the first and second conductive members includes a visual alignment indicator to define a final mating relation between the first and second conductive members once fully mated.
