ABSTRACT:
An assembly for retaining electrical conductor end portions within a surrounding housing of an electrically operated device, including a plurality of spaced pin members extending between first and second housing portions, with pairs of the pin members located on opposite sides of conductor end portions located within the housing. The conductor end portions are, in turn, attached to contact terminals which are formed with an end portion located adjacent to the attached conductor having a width appreciably greater than a distance defined by a transverse gap extending between the pin members extending on either side of the conductor end portion, whereby tensional stresses applied to the conductor draw the attached contact terminal into abuting engagement with the pair of pin members, preventing longitudinal withdrawal of the contact between the pin members.
