ID aircraft electrical terminal

Fri Feb 15, 2008 10:23 am

OK wire twisters, Can you help me ID this little terminal?
I got a bag of these with a bunch of switches and push-buttons from WWII era aircraft.

It is 7/8 inch across and about 1 inch long. Bakelite? The terminal on the bottom is spring loaded. Seems like you stick a wire in the open hole and then tighten the small screw to make contact. The screw and bottom terminal are connected inside. No resistance.

Any ideas?
