ABSTRACT:
A wire-connection apparatus for connecting wire to an electrical component having a terminal comprising a pair of contact members having a pair of adjacent edges is disclosed. The wire-connection apparatus comprises a wire-holding member connected for pivotal motion with respect to the terminal. The wire-holding member is penetrated by a wire-holding conduit for receiving a corresponding wire and is pivotal to a connection configuration wherein the corresponding wire extends through a space between the adjacent edges of the contact members to make electrical contact with the terminal. The wire-connection apparatus comprises a probe-access cover connected for pivotal motion with respect to the wire-holding member. The probe-access cover is pivotal to an open configuration, such that when the probe-access cover is in its open configuration and the wire-holding member is in its connection configuration, the cover portion is spaced apart from the face for exposing at least a portion of the terminal to contact by an electrical probe.
