ABSTRACT:
A terminal collar for electrically connecting a contact element includes a yoke of strip metal in the shape of a closed loop. End portions of the strip overlap, one being formed with a clearance opening and the other having a swaged boss engaging in the opening to prevent relative lateral deviation of the end portions. Side walls of the yoke define reentrant angles. Upon advancement of a screw through threads formed in the boss the contact element and conductor are clamped within the yoke. The side walls are stressed resiliently, and accommodate themselves to contraction or expansion of the wire, while at all times remaining within their elastic limits.
