  • Patent number: 4159159
    Abstract: A modular terminal for fast and secure installation of a wire pair insuring electrical isolation of each wire in utility interface equipment requiring a large number of such installing operations is supported by a boss of insulating material. A pair of continuous contact pins are each formed with two-pronged wire clamps having a wire-receiving slot between the prongs. The contact pins extend into the housing in spaced apart positions with the lower prongs seated on the boss and the wire-receiving slots for the pair opening in the same direction. A cap is seated on the upper prongs of the wire clamps and is fastened to the boss with a terminal screw that is advanced to simultaneously secure a pair of conductors held in the wire-receiving slots.
