Abstract
A forged terminal body receives a resin knob assembled without pre-positioning. Anti-slip projections on the terminal body penetrate the knob during assembly to resist torque during connection. The anti-slip projections have asymmetric triangular cross sections with a steeper side of the triangle facing in the tightening direction. In one embodiment of the invention, the anti-slip projections are prismatic projections radially arranged on a collar. In a second embodiment of the invention, the anti-slip projections extend from the collar along a terminal body upon which the resin knob is press fitted.
