Abstract
An electrically conductive connector adapted to be releasably coupled with a stud to form an electrical connection. The connector includes an electrical terminal with an electrically conductive terminal aperture. The aperture has a larger diameter than the stud so as to facilitate introduction of the stud therein. A set screw is threadedly mounted on the electrical terminal in position to be actuated from the exterior of the electrical terminal and to be reciprocally passed across the aperture to engage the stud inserted therein and form a fixed electrical connection between the stud and connector. Release of the set screw permits the stud to be removed from the connector. The aperture has a configuration to permit it to cooperate with the set screw and stud to stabilize the interconnection therebetween. This is particularly true when the connection is subjected to forces acting other than along the axis of the set screw that otherwise could cause loosening of the interconnection between stud and connector. At least one terminal port is provided to facilitate electrical connection to selected conductors.
