Abstract
An electrical connector is disclosed having enhanced pull-out resistance for a stranded conductor secured therein. The metal body of the electrical connector includes a conductor-receiving bore for receiving the stranded conductor and a threaded bore for receiving a binding screw that orthogonally intersects the conductor-receiving bore. One or more opposed side walls of the metal body further includes at least one slot that is adapted to receive strands of the conductor displaced therein by a binding force applied by the conical tip of the binding screw.
