A contact terminal is useful as an electrical disconnect. The contact termin al is generally of one-piece construction having a main body and a portion thereof cantilevered from this main body. This cantilevered portion is configured with a wire receivin g apparatus so as to receive the wire therein and allow the wire to make both mechanical and electrical engagement with the contact terminal. The contact terminal is also configured with an embossment or stiffener adjacent the junction of the main body and the cantilevered portio n so as to provide rigidity to the cantilevered portion when this portion is subject to a wire withdrawal force.
