Abstract
An electrical connector includes a split bolt having a base and first and second outwardly extending legs. A conductor receiving channel is formed between the legs. A nut threadably engages the legs and has upper and lower surfaces and an opening through it. A pressure bar member is movably received in the conductor receiving channel. A head of the pressure bar member contacts the lower surface of the nut and a body of the pressure bar member extends through the opening in the nut. A spacer is disposed in the conductor receiving channel between the base and the head of the pressure bar member.
