Screwless junction box connection

Abstract

A screwless junction box or terminal connector includes a housing containing a chamber in which are mounted an electrical contact and a clamping spring, the clamping spring being operable to bias a conductor toward electrical engagement with the contact, characterized by the provision of a slide member that is manually operable from a released position toward an inserted position, thereby to displace the clamping leg toward a disengaged position relative to the electrical contact, whereby the conductor may be inserted directly within the housing chamber. A restoring spring biases the slide member toward its released return position.
