Abstract
The present disclosure relates to wiring terminations. Wiring terminations can be used in any suitable device such as a wiring device. The wiring termination is configured to selectively receive a distal end of a wire therein. The wire termination mechanism includes at least a first position for receiving the distal end of the wire, and a second position for terminating the distal end of the wire against the respective electrical contact upon an actuation thereof from the first position to the second position.
