WEDGE CONNECTOR ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS AND CONNECTIONS INCLUDING SAME

A wedge connector system for connecting first and second elongate electrical conductors includes a C-shaped sleeve member, a wedge member, and an insert member. The sleeve member defines a sleeve cavity and opposed first and second sleeve channels on either side of the sleeve cavity. The wedge member includes a wedge body having first and second opposed wedge side walls. The insert member is configured to be selectively mounted in the first sleeve channel and defines an insert member channel to receive the first conductor when the insert member is mounted in the first sleeve channel. The sleeve member and the wedge member are configured to capture the first and second conductors such that: the first conductor is received in the insert member channel and captured between the sleeve member and the first wedge side wall; and the second conductor is captured between the sleeve member and the second wedge side wall.
