ABSTRACT:
An improved solderless electrical terminal connector includes a plurality of serrations or notches formed on its lower surface for improving the electrical and thermal contact between the connector and the surface onto which it is mounted. The wire receiving portion of the connector includes a set screw for holding the wire securely in place in a body member. The cross-sectional area of the body member in the direction of the wire is reduced so that it is less than the diameter of the set screw thereby to improve pullout characteristics. The opening for the wire in the body member extends into a tang to form a stop to provide for ease of installation of the wire. This placement of the wire will also reduce electrical resistance. In an alternate embodiment, a spiral groove may be formed in the wire receiving opening to cut into the wire as it is clamped in place both to improve pullout characteristics and to lower the electrical resistance between the wire and the connector.
