The most commonly used wire termination methods utilize a screw. One of the common screw wire terminations is called a rising cage. This termination type may also be called a cage clamp or an elevator clamp terminal block. With a rising cage terminal block, wire termination is accomplished by first inserting a bare conductor into the wire entry area. Using a screwdriver, turn the screw in a clockwise direction, the applied torque causes the wire cage, or floor, to rise. The screw itself does not lower into the cage, but rather the cage rises up within the plastic housing (hence the name rising or elevator cage clamp). The conductor is held firmly in place between the floor of the cage and the top of the terminal. To remove the conductor, simply rotate the screw in a counter-clockwise direction to lower the wire cage and free the wire. This connection is intended to be able to terminate wires many times, it is rugged and secure and many times will include features such as captive screws and test points. The rising cage style terminal block typically accommodates a broad range of wire sizes, and is readily available in both one and two piece configurations.
