ABSTRACT:
A multi-stranded conductor terminal assembly includes an outer housing, a termination element, a contact pad, and a fastener rotatably mounting the contact pad to an inner end of the termination element. The outer housing has a main cavity open at one end for receiving therein conductor strands of the multi-stranded conductor and an internally threaded side opening extending from an exterior side of the outer housing to the main cavity thereof. The termination element is rotatably insertable within and removable from the side opening of the outer housing. The contact pad is adapted to contact the conductor strands upon rotatable advancement of the termination element into the side opening of the outer housing toward the conductor strands in the main cavity of the outer housing. The contact pad has undulations that will maintain the contact pad in a non-rotatable contacting relation with the conductor strands as the termination element is rotated and advanced toward the conductor strands so that the contact pad thereby protects the conductor strands from frictional wear as the termination element and thus the contact pad are tightened against the conductor strands.
