1502. A "split bolt" for splicing electrical wires. I quoted Burndy
automation for making the part with the female thread almost 20 years

I've heard most of the names people have offered for the
"split-bolt". We always called them "Kearney's" when I was
working in the trade (shrug). I guess whatever name stuck
with us was related to one's local supply house.
