The terminal is mounted in a block of insulating material (1). Its purpose is to connect an axially inserted end of a conductor wire (6) to some other electrical circuit (not shown) via a connection strip (4). The connection strip includes a bent down tongue which passes through a wire-clamping cage (3). The cage pivots on shoulders (43) near the end (45) of the tongue. A screw (5) passes through the main portion of the connection strip and engages a flap (36) of the cage. The arrangement is such that tightening the screw rocks the cage so that a corner (38) at its end opposite to the screw wedges a previously inserted wire against the tongue of the connection strip. This arrangement uses a single component, the wire clamping cage, to perform a function that previously required a first component such as a lever or wedge to engage a second component such as a wire-receiving clip.
