Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/030838
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An electrical set screw connector system is provided. The system includes a connector body and a bit. The connector body has a set screw and a pressure limitation for mechanically and electrically securing a conductor cable therein. The pressure limitation corresponds to a torque limit applied to the set screw. The bit has a torque limiting region that separates a body mating portion from a tool mating portion. The body mating portion operatively mates with the set screw, while the tool mating portion operatively mates with a tool. The torque limiting region shears at the torque limit.
