Abstract (en)

[origin: US5938488A] A clamping device for electrical conductors is characterized by a housing and a clamping member rotatably connected with the housing via an improved bearing assembly. The bearing assembly includes an embossed journal on one side of the clamping member and an embossed bore in the other side of the clamping member. The journal fits within an opening in one side wall of the housing and a tongue having a circular portion bent inwardly from the other side of the housing fits within the bore of the clamping member. When the clamping member is activated, it rotates within the housing to clamp an electrical conductor against a bus bar segment.
