Abstract
A terminal apparatus used for connecting a lead wire to a terminal, includes a cylindrical rotor having an operating knob and a hole for inserting the lead wire therethrough, and a terminal plate having spring effect. The lead wire inserted through the hole is fixed or released between the surface of the cylindrical rotor and the terminal plate in response to the rotation of the cylindrical rotor. In the fixed position, the lead wire is prevented from disengaging in the presence of an outward drawing force by the spring effect of the terminal plate together with corners of the rotor hole.
