A back wired clamping arrangement in a contact terminal assembly for use in an electrical receptacle includes a base plate, a clamp plate, a screw and an anti-vibration washer. The base plate is connected to a contact terminal assembly of the electrical receptacle The base plate has a pair of opposite forward side tabs formed on side edges of the base plate. The clamp plate interfits with the base plate The clamp plate has a pair of opposite rearward side tabs formed on side edges of the clamp plate and a front tab formed on a front edge of the clamp plate. The rearward side tabs of the clamp plate and the forward side tabs of the base plate together form side walls. The front tab of the clamp plate is inserted within a recess of the base plate and forms a front wall. The clamp plate and base plate together define at least one channel for receiving a multi-stranded wire therethrough and substantially enclosing and making electrical contact with the strands of the wire. The screw is disposed through a central hole of the clamp plate and threadably inserted through a central passageway of the base plate and thereby secures the clamp plate to the base plate. The screw combines with the base plate and the clamp plate to enclose and make electrical contact with the strands of the wire on four sides of the wire. The washer is on the screw for applying pressure on the clamp plate so as to retain the clamping action of the base and clamp plates on the wire during vibration of the electrical receptacle.
