Abstract
A spring clip includes a first beam and a second beam connected to the first beam and resiliently deflectable toward the first beam from a relaxed position distal from the first beam to a compressed position proximal to the first beam. The second beam has a spring latch extending toward the first beam. The spring latch engages the first beam to secure the second beam in the compressed position. The clip may be positioned in a housing having a rotatable cover formed to compress the clip against a conductor when moved to a closed position.
