This specification discloses an electrically conductive raceway as used in an prefabricated interior wall panel system with a means for electrically connecting a ground wire directly to a portion of the raceway without the need for separate clips or terminals and the method and apparatus for making same.

Electrical raceway with improved ground connection method and apparatus

A terminal for making electrical connections to insulation clad wires includes a base portion and a pair of U-shaped elements each formed of a side wall extending upwardly from the base portion and a pair of end portions extending from the side wall. The U-shaped elements are formed at opposite sides of the base portion and the end portions, each defining one slot, extend more than half way toward the opposed side wall. A compact arrangement is achieved by internesting the U-shaped elements. Insulation displacement slots of different widths are provided for termination of wires of different gauges.
