Abstract
A connector assembly comprises a housing and a clamping screw for clamping connection of ring tongue terminals to terminals of the connector assembly. The clamping screw comprises a flanged portion for, on the one hand clamping down on the terminal, and on the other hand engage against a shoulder of the housing when in the raised, disconnected position to prevent removal of the clamping screw from the housing. A U-shaped metal plate inserted in a housing slot transverse to the clamping screw, provides a second thread means to enable raising the clamping screw away from the mating clamping nut to allow unobstructed insertion of the ring tongue terminal therebetween.
