Abstract
The invention disclosed herein relates to terminals in which the electrical wire is removably retained by mechanical means. More particularly, the terminal includes a first member with an elongated body having an axial, wire-receiving first passage, a second, transverse passage intersecting the first passage and a second member having a wire engaging surface, the second member being driven into the second passage so that the wire engaging surface thereon may compress and retain a wire in the first passage.
