An electrical terminal comprising a cylindrical contact member

摘要

An electrical terminal having a supporting body, a tubular contact member having a bifurcate contact element and an elongated perforation generally diametrically aligned therewith, a cap enclosing the contact member with a wire receiving opening aligned with the contact element and an exit opening aligned with the perforation opposite the contact element. Contact is established by twisting the cap in relation to the contact member from a first position to an intermediate position and the wire extending from the exit opening is severed by further twisting of the cap in the same direction until a stop member is engaged.
