Abstract: A contact for use with electrical conductors is provided. This contact includes a stationary engagement member; a flexible engagement member; and a biasing member (e.g., a spring) disposed between the stationary engagement member and the flexible engagement member. The action of the biasing member displaces the flexible engagement member from linear alignment with the stationary engagement member in the absence of compressive force on at least one of the engagement members. Compressive force applied to the stationary engagement member and/or the flexible engagement member brings these components into linear alignment with one another for creating a wire-receiving channel or “wire trap” that is activated upon removal of the compressive force.
