1. A conductor junction utilizing a non-wrenchable split bolt electrical connector electrically interconnecting the metallic shielding shrouds of a plurality of conductors comprising:

  • a pair of mated threaded parts each lacking wrench engaging surfaces and including a threaded ring and a shank, said shank being threaded and having a deep slot axially thereof and opening through its threaded end, said slot receiving and firmly seating the shielded shrouds of a plurality of conductors between the inner end of said slot and the adjacent inner face of said threaded ring, the periphery of said threaded ring being roughened to facilitate gripping the same between the user'"'"''"'"'s thumb and forefinger to tighten the same to the extent possible by an operator'"'"''"'"'s finger and without risk of damage to said shielding shrouds, said threaded ring being tightened on said threaded shank gripping the shielding shrouds between the inner end of said slot and the adjacent face of said threaded ring, and said tightened threaded parts and the adjacent portions of said sheathed conductors being embedded in solidified potting compound effective to isolate said threaded parts from contact with conductive objects and effective to lock said threaded parts against loosening despite vibration and temperature changes.
