1. In a dynamoelectric machine having a stator member and a plurality of coils constituting a stator winding, each of said coils comprising two conductors spaced apart on the strator member and having end portions disposed adjacent to each other for connection to a phase lead, said end portions of said apart conductors being assembled in overlapping relation with said phase lead, the combination with the union of said coil end portions and said phase lead of a connector comprising a pair of spaced apart plate members, a pair of spaced apart wedge members, and means, for positively securng said plate and wedge members together in assembled relationship and in compressive engagement with said coil end portions and said phase lead;

  • said plate and wedge members having surfaces for uniform engagement with said overlapping conductors, said wedge members being disposed in surface-to-surface contact with said conductors and in sliding engagement with said plate members, said wedge members being displaced inwardly upon said overlapping conductors in a direction normal to the direction of the force of compressive engagement provided by said securing means, whereby biaxial compression of said overlapping conductors is provided as said plate members are forced against said conductors by said securing means.
