An electrical terminating device includes a prestessed generally annular split collar member having its free ends held apart by a rigid bridge member having leg portions urged into abutting engagement with the free ends of a lower saddle member to maintain the bowed side walls of the collar member in a preloaded condition. A slidable pressure plate is introduced within the interior of the assembly for cooperation with a pressure screw extending inwardly from the bridge member to pressure connect a conductor end to the saddle member upon suitable rotation of the pressure screw, the pre-loaded bowed side walls of the collar member operating to compensate for any expansion and contraction of the conductor while connected within the device.
