Abstract
A distribution wiring harness assembly is electrically connected to at least one first contact of an electrical receptacle. The distribution wiring harness assembly includes a wire having an uninsulated segment and at least one insulated segment. A connector terminal includes at least one second contact mating with the at least one first contact of the electrical receptacle. At least two resilient prongs are connected to the at least one second contact. The at least two resilient prongs clamp the uninsulated segment of the wire therebetween.
Claims23
A distribution wiring harness assembly for being electrically connected to at least one first contact of an electrical receptacle, said distribution wiring harness assembly comprising:
- a wire having an uninsulated segment and at least one insulated segment;
- and
- a connector terminal including:
- at least one second contact configured for mating with the at least one first contact of the electrical receptacle;
- and
- at least one resilient prong connected to said at least one second contact, said at least one resilient prong clamping said uninsulated segment of said wire.
A distribution wiring harness connector terminal for electrically connecting a wire to at least one first contact of an electrical distribution block, said connector terminal comprising:
- at least one second contact configured for mating with the at least one first contact of the electrical distribution block;
- and
- at least one resilient prong connected to said at least one second contact, said at least one resilient prong being configured for clamping the wire.
A method of electrically connecting a wire of a distribution wiring harness assembly to at least one first contact of an electrical distribution block, said method comprising the steps of:
- providing a connector terminal including:
- at least one second contact;
- and
- at least two resilient prongs electrically connected to said at least one second contact;
- clamping the wire between said at least two resilient prongs;
- and
- electrically connecting said at least one second contact of the connector terminal to the at least one first contact of the electrical distribution block.
An electrical distribution system, comprising:
- a wall panel including an electrical distribution block having a terminal with at least one first contact;
- and
- a connector terminal including:
- at least one second contact electrically connected to said at least one first contact of the electrical distribution block;
- and
- at least two resilient prongs connected to said at least one second contact, said at least two resilient prongs clamping a wire therebetween.
