ABSTRACT:
A terminal assembly can be alternatively used to make either a pressure plate or screw type connection for connecting stranded wire or solid wire, respectively, to a power conductor of electric power apparatus such as a circuit breaker. An electrically insulative barrier has an elongated member with a lateral extension at one end having a recess that captures the head of the screw of a terminal collar for the pressure plate connection. As the screw is tightened, the collar is drawn toward the power conductor to clamp the stranded wire between the collar and one side of the power conductor. With the elongated member turned end for end, the screw is free to clamp the solid wire against the other side of the power conductor. Pairs of integral compliant latches on the elongated member accommodate quick conversion between the two types of connections.
