ABSTRACT:
An electrical wire trap-type terminal includes a pair of terminal arms projecting from a base. The terminal arms are spring loaded whereby, when the terminal arms are moved to a conductor receiving position, the terminal arms will return automatically to a conductor trapping position. The terminal arms define a jaw configured such that relative movement of the terminal arms to the conductor receiving position opens the jaw to receive the conductor, the jaw trapping the conductor when the terminal arms are released and in their conductor trapping position. A housing is provided in conjunction with the terminal and through which the conductor is inserted into the jaw. The housing is effective to open the jaw to the conductor receiving position.
