Abstract: The disclosure relates to an improved terminal block in which each terminal is barrel shaped with a flared skirt, which locks the terminal from movement in one direction, and a plate portion of the terminal is bent over to lock the terminal from movement in an opposite direction. The plate cooperates with projecting ears of the terminal to prevent rotation.

Abstract: A fuse holder includes a pair of electrical terminals which releasably clamp opposite ends of a fuse. Each terminal has a wire terminating, slitted barrel portion to which wires are connected without a need for tools. The fuse and the terminals are enclosed within a two piece dielectric housing adjustable in length to accept a range of fuse lengths. Means are provided to prevent undesired loosening or opening of the housing.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to an insulation cover for a slotted barrel electrical terminal of the type mounted to a printed circuit board. The cover is molded of dielectric material in cylindrical form with an open end for receipt over a barrel terminal, and a closed end which is slotted to provide a seat against which an insertion tool is registered. A lengthwise slot of the cover receives one or more wires therein and grips across the cross section of each received wire to provide a strain relief. A projecting tab on the cover is utilized for gripping when removal of the cover from the terminal is required.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a metal plate terminal rolled into a barrel configuration having a longitudinal open seam defining a wire receiving slot. The terminal defines wire gripping jaws on either side of the seam. A transverse slot intersects the open seam dividing the jaws into two tandem pairs. An enlarged flared entryway is provided in the second pair of jaws for the open seam. The first set of jaws have tab portions projecting toward the second pair of jaws for guiding a wire along the open seam from the first set of jaws to the second. The transverse slot is of substantial width to prevent abrasion of the jaws with one another. The transverse slot further is of arcuate configuration, perpendicularly intersecting the open seam and incising one-fourth of a circumference of said barrel configuration on either side of said open seam.
