Abstract
An electrical connector for connecting a conductor with three fixations and particularly suitable for medium and high voltage applications. The connector body includes a body part with an inner profile adapted to receive the conductor and a cover part provided with two keepers that are fastened to the body part for providing the first and the second fixation of the conductor to the body part, respectively. The third fixation of the conductor is provided by an inner keeper that is partially covered by the two outer keepers. The inner keeper includes a contact element that is disposed transversally over the conductor and attached to the body part by a U-bolt. The outer keepers and the inner keeper are shaped so that at least one of the outer keepers covers, at least partially, the inner keeper.
