A connector assembly comprises an electrically nonconductive post (300) having a plurality of channels (310) in its upper surface for receiving individual insulated conductors. The upper surface of the post also includes slots (320) extending orthogonal to the channels (310). The slots (320) receive legs (220) of an inverted U-shaped contact (200), the legs comprising slotted beams (222) that depend from a base (210) of the contact. The contact base (210) is captured on a screw terminal (100) which threads onto the upper surface of the post (300). The screwing in of the screw terminal (100) causes the slotted beams (222) of the contact (200) to penetrate the insulation of the conductors placed in the channels (310) to electrically interconnect the conductors, contact (200), and screw terminal (100).
