ABSTRACT:
A terminal assembly is provided which is easy to assemble and disassemble. The assembly features male and female ceramic elements that interconnect and provide a passageway into which a terminal equipped with forward and rearward tabs is placed. After the terminal is positioned in the passageway, the forward tabs may be bent into a position at an angle to the terminal, thereby securing the terminal in place and holding the terminal assembly together. The male ceramic element is provided with a unique annular depression that reduces the amount of ceramic materials needed to make the assembly, while also providing the minimum surface spacing required by industry standards. In addition, the terminal assembly is provided with a v-shaped attachment element for conveniently attaching the assembly to a lead wire.
