Title: Phase lead connector

Abstract: A connector assembly for joining gas-cooled phase leads of a dynamoelectric machine. First and second L-shaped plates connect each split end portion of a stator coil to a stator phase lead by means of screw bolts which join a shoulder portion of each plate with a crown portion of each plate. The opening defined by the interlocked crown and shoulder portions is adjustable to an exact fit with the conductor strands disposed therein by means of a slot in each shoulder portion which allows variable alignment with a tapped hole in the crown portion of each plate. After the screw bolts are tightened to a predetermined contact pressure, the conductor strands are soldered one to another and to the first and second connector plates.
