ABSTRACT:
A connector terminal which twist mounts to one or more electrical conductors. A terminal fitting includes a number of prongs and a terminal end. The terminal end is selected to accommodate a particular one of a variety of terminations. The prongs are staked within an insulated housing and are conically flared outward to fit mating recesses at the housing. A spiral wound spring having a compound tapered longitudinal surface is screw fitted to the staked prongs and housing. Edges of the spring windings bite into the prongs and housing to permanently secure the termination end and spring to the housing. Connectors having alternative terminal ends are disclosed for making a wide variety of electrical connections.
