Abstract

A computing system includes one or more terminal blocks for terminating power wires, which may be used for delivering power to or distributing power within the computing system. A set screw is provided for each terminal block, with the set screw configured to hold a wire in the terminal block. At least one of the set screws is a compensating set screw. The compensating set screw has a set screw head, a set screw stem, a plunger movable along the stem, a spring mechanism between the head and the plunger, and a retainer to retain the plunger on the stem. The spring mechanism may push the plunger toward the wire, causing the plunger to follow the wire and maintaining pressure between the plunger and the power wire even as the power wire settles over time.
