A terminal for an electric conductor is disclosed in which a cylindrical clamping member rotatable in a clamping frame is provided with clamping faces which are arranged eccentrically and which protrude beyond the cylindrical portion of the member. More particularly, the clamping surfaces are formed by circumferential surfaces of two spaced disks which, in turn, are formed in part from and supported by the aforesaid cylindrical portion. Additionally, for receiving the conductor, the clamping frame is provided with an opening which is outside and extends lengthwise of the cylindrical portion. After insertion of the conductor in such opening, rotation of the clamping member causes the conductor to be pressed between the clamping surfaces and the clamping frame, thereby substantially increasing the pull-out forces associated with the conductor. |
