1 Abstract

A female part (8) of the terminal has a wire receiving first bore (22) with an eccentric counterbore (24) in which is a plug (40) having a wire receiving second bore (42) aligned with the first bore (22) and being eccentric with respect to the axis of the plug (40). The plug (40) is rotatable in the counterbore (24), to an extent limited by stop surfaces (36 and 52), so that a wire when received in the bores (22 and 42) is constricted. A body (38) projects from the counterbore (24). n In order to simplify the manufacture of the terminal and to adapt it for use with aluminium wire, the plug (40) is rigidly connected to the body (38), the stop surfaces (36 and 52) being external surfaces of the female part (8) and the body (38) and being so relatively positioned that during the relative rotation, substantial torsional shearing forces are applied to the wire.
