The terminal includes an outer sleeve and a movable collet for movement between first and second positions relative to the outer sleeve. The collet has a plurality of fingers thereon that are movable relatively toward and away from one another between a first spaced apart position less than the diameter of the electrical lead connector pin and a second spaced apart position greater than the diameter of the electrical lead connector pin for receiving and releasing the lead in the second spaced apart position and for gripping the lead in the first spaced apart position. The terminal further includes a spring and a push button release means for moving the collet between its first and second positions.
