ABSTRACT:
An eyelet terminal comprises a ring with a plurality of tabs formed around the inner circumference thereof, the tabs projecting out of the plane of the ring and adapted to interlockingly engage tabs of identical terminals to secure the terminals to one another in a stacked, coaxial configuration prior to the terminals being bolted to a surface. A terminal may be secured to an adjacent terminal in any of several alternative relative angular positions. In one embodiment, the tabs are canted about a radially extending line to lie in a plane oblique to the plane of the ring and project below a lower surface of the ring such that sharp edges of the tabs are urged into contact with the surface to which the terminal stack is bolted. In another embodiment, the tabs are stair-step shaped and extend only above an upper surface of the ring.
