Abstract
The disclosure relates to an insulation cover for a slotted barrel electrical terminal of the type mounted to a printed circuit board. The cover is molded of dielectric material in cylindrical form with an open end for receipt over a barrel terminal, and a closed end which is slotted to provide a seat against which an insertion tool is registered. A lengthwise slot of the cover receives one or more wires therein and grips across the cross section of each received wire to provide a strain relief. A projecting tab on the cover is utilized for gripping when removal of the cover from the terminal is required.
