Abstract

An electrical terminal adapted for connection with a conductor, comprising a hollow electrically conductive terminal containing a chamber receiving a U-shaped spring, and an opening for receiving a conductor that is biased by one leg of the spring into engagement with a given wall of the terminal chamber, the spring one leg having an operating tab portion that extends through a slot contained in the given terminal wall. A plurality of the terminals may be provided in an outer housing that is formed of an electrically insulating synthetic plastic material.
