Abstract

A resilient electrical terminal includes a pair of beveled centering surfaces that cooperate to center a conductor relative to the side walls of the clamping opening through which a bus bar and the conductor extend in clamped side-by-side conductive relation. A groove contained in the adjacent surface of the bus bar centers the conductor relative to the bus bar.
