  • Patent number: 4145107
    Abstract: An electrical terminal assembly of the type adapted to extend through and be press fitted within an insulating terminal block. The assembly includes a cylindrical metal body having a coaxial cylindrical stem emerging from one end for securing one electrical circuit wire, and a captive screw post is adapted to cooperate coaxially with the metal body at its opposite end for securing another circuit wire. To trap the screw post, the body has a hollow bore which is blind at one end (proximal) the bore having an internally threaded section adjacent the proximal end, a larger unthreaded section extended therefrom almost to its open end (distal), and an unthreaded shoulder section at the distal end smaller than the diameters of both the threaded and unthreaded sections. The screw post has a shaft that fits into the bore and a slotted head located exterior of the bore.
