Abstract
The present invention relates to an electrical connector of the type wherein the wire is removably terminated by being compressed between a wire-receiving surface and a set screw or the like. More particularly, the connector includes a wire-receiving surface and a second member having nonlinear, resilient sidewalls which tend to straighten out as the screw is turned down against the wire. The energy stored in the sidewalls maintain pressure on the wire.
