ABSTRACT:
An improved spring-loaded terminal assembly is disclosed of the type in which an insulating housing has a conductor-receiving aperture extending into a cavity defined by the housing and alignable with a corresponding aperture in a terminal mounted in the cavity. Resilient means, which maintains the apertures normally out of axial alignment, must be overcome to align the apertures to permit insertion of a conductor therein. The resilient means then returns the apertures to an unaligned orientation, thereby pinching the conductor between the apertures. Specifically, the improvement consists of integrating the resilient means into the terminal.
