ABSTRACT:
An electrical terminal for making connection to a ring tongue comprises two metal plates each having a central aperture and a semicircular shaft segment having a portion outstanding from the plate and a portion forming part of the periphery of the aperture. The shaft segment of one plate is force fitted into the aperture of the other plate, with the ring tongue surrounding the two shaft segments, so that the two shaft segments cooperate to provide a hollow shaft, contact springs on plates cooperating to provide a receptacle for a bus bar. The outer faces of the shaft segments and the walls of the apertures are complimentarily tapered to enable the force fit. In use, a fastener is passed through the hollow shaft to secure the terminal to a guide fork, the assembly so formed being mounted on a slideway secured to a rack mounted electrical module to be connected to the bus bar.
