Abstract
An apparatus for mounting a conductor terminal including an insulated housing and a bus bar on a support rail is characterized by a solid metal contact base connected with the bus bar and adapted for electrically and mechanically connecting the bus bar with the rail. The base includes a pair of integral hook portions for clamping with the edges of the rail and at least one intermediate resilient prong extending longitudinally from the base. When the hook portions are clamped onto the rail edges, the prong is biased against the rail to retain the connector in position on the rail.
