ABSTRACT:
An electric terminal fitting intended to be interposed between a terminal plate and a terminal screw of an electrical outlet and hold an end of a conductor wire in place for electrical connection, the fitting including a two prong member fitting opposite sides of a terminal screw, and having wire retainer elements for placing the end of a conductor wire in position for electrical contact with the outlet. The fitting may be arranged to include a cover having an insulation surface which may be folded over the terminal screw to prevent shorting or grounding of the terminal screw. Also, the fitting may be formed of plastic material and maintain an electrical connection directly between the wire and the terminal plate or the terminal screw.
