TERMILOCK™ - Terminal Screws

In today's more sophisticated world of electrical distribution and controls, positive, consistently reliable electrical contacts are essential to product performance and safety. Our design, manufacturing and assembly capabilities provide virtually any type or combination of stamped terminations pre-assembled to a wide range of screws. Multiple washer assemblies are available to meet special termination needs. These washers can be flat and smooth or dished and ribbed. Dished or arched washers increase torque absorption and clamp load. A complete capability to engineer and develop a wide variety of Saddle Clamp Sems is also available to assure positives wire retention.

The Industry's highest standards, UL 486a and 486b, provide dimensionally controlled Terminal Screws made to withstand Underwriters Laboratories' torque, secureness, and pullout tests under the provisions of both UL 486 and IEC 60999. Terminal Screws are available in all typical head styles and recesses, such as cheese heads, combination phillips/slotted, milled slots, etc. Self threading terminal screws are available for chip-free forming of threads in untapped contacts. All terminal screws are available in steel and stainless steel.

Jam Proof

In some products an annular ring, located on the screw shank just below the clamping plate, helps to prevent jamming of screw threads by separating the clamping plate from the threads. This annular ring also lifts the clamping plate straight up when the screw is loosened, allowing for a smooth release of the wire.
