Abstract:
An improved latching slotted beam terminal is disclosed having two slotted plates connected by a bight and folded into overlying position. One plate has relatively short, stiff arms defining a narrow conductor engaging slot. The other plate has relatively long, flexible arms defining a slot wider than the conductor and outwardly directed shoulders on the free ends of the tines. The wire gripping will be by the first plate and latching of an associated cover member by the second plate.
