ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A wire terminal electrical contact is provided to accommodate wires of a wide range of diameters. The terminal is of push-in type and includes a metal strip having spring properties within an insulating housing. Openings to the housing through which the wire is pushed to make contact accept the full range of wire diameters normally employed in household wiring ranging from #10 gauge to #14 gauge. Locking cams are formed from the spring metal strip by an F configuration of slits to form two side-by-side locking tongues. The free ends of the tongues are bent up from the strip of the housing interior and two adjoining openings are provided in the housing aligned with the vertical portion of the F. The openings are circular and accept the largest and smallest diameter wires. Also the openings intersect, but their area of interior is smaller than the smallest diameter wire which will be used in either of holes. A compact construction is achieved without danger of releasing a smaller diameter wire from the closely adjacent looking tongues.
