Abstract
An electrical terminal unit, of the rail-mounted type, has terminals consisting of metal cntact parts with slots, and movable actuating members of insulating material provided with heads designed to receive and to entrain insulated conductors. The heads of the actuating members can be moved relative to the slotted contact parts so as to bring the inserted conductors into the slots, so that the slot edges cut the insulation and make contact with the conductor cores, and the connections can be broken by moving the actuating members away from the contact parts, thereby entraining the conductors and pulling these clear of the contact parts.
