ABSTRACT:
An electrical terminal washer (40) includes a substantially flat contact wall (42) having an aperture (44) therein and four curved wall portions (48-54) depending from the contact wall (42) and forming an internal cavity (58) within the washer (40). Two opposing wall portions (48,52) have curved engagement ribs (28) disposed within the internal cavity. A stud (10) includes a connection end (12) which extends through the aperture (44) in the washer (40) and a hexagonal tightening portion (22) receivable within the internal cavity. The length of each rib (28) is greater than the length of each surface of the tightening portion (22) to enable the washer (40) to rotate on the stud (10) and to avoid the need for indexing the washer (40) on the stud (10) during assembly.
