ABSTRACT:
A multigauge-multiwire terminal includes a first split cylinder portion providing a pair of jaws defining a continuous wire receiving slot and a second rib cage portion providing a plurality of opposing resilient ribs aligned to provide a discontinuous slot. In use a wire is inserted laterally of its length into the continuous slot, the jaws of which slice through the insulation on the wire and grippingly engages it. The insertion of another wire displaces the first inserted wire into the discontinuous slot in which it is gripped by the opposing ribs which generally provide for a three point contact with the conductor portion.
