Electrical Terminal and Method of Assembly Abstract of the Disclosure A terminal for making electrical connection to a conductor has a base and a gripper that is held in a fixed position along the length of the base by a gripping finger that acts in tension in one direction at one location along the length of the base and a back portion that acts in the opposite direction at a second location along the length of the base to resist the tension. In other aspects, the supporting leg makes contact with the base only at locations that are not as near to the end of the conductor as the locations at which the gripping finger presses the conductor; the pressing of the conductor into contact with the base is accomplished only by resilience of the gripping finger along a section that does not extend beyond the end of the base; the base has a number of troughs of different dimensions that respectively seat wires of different gauges; and the terminal is assembled by inserting the base in an opening defined by the force end of the supporting leg and gripping finger to a position in which the free end of the gripper contacts the base at a pivot point, and rotating the gripper about the pivot point until the back portion contacts the end of the base and the free end of the gripper engages a projection on the base. - 0 -
