摘要

A dead end electrical connector assembly including a dead end connector member, a collet, wedges and an outer sleeve. The dead end connector member has a first end section and a second end section. The second end section includes a threaded section. The first end section is adapted to be connected to another member and includes a general bolt head section adapted to be turned by a powered tool to axially rotate the dead end connector member. The front end of the collet includes a threaded section adapted to be threaded onto the threaded section of the dead end connector member. The wedges are inserted directly between the collet and a core member of a cable conductor. The second end section of the dead end connector member is adapted to push the wedges into the collet. The outer sleeve is crimped onto the dead end connector member and the cable.
