What term refers to devices used to connect conductors to terminal parts?

• A. Pressure connectors
• B. Set screw type pressure connector
• C. Recessed plug or plate
• D. Identification of conductor or busbar

Answer: (A)

Pressure connectors are the general term for devices that connect conductors to terminal parts. They work by applying mechanical pressure to grip the conductor and secure a reliable electrical path to the terminal or busbar. A set-screw type pressure connector is a specific form of pressure connector where tightening a screw clamps the wire in place. The other options don’t describe a connector: a recessed plug or plate is a cover or mounting plate, and identifying a conductor or busbar refers to labeling, not making a connection.
