An electrical termination assembly includes a termination 1 formed by a flat resilient plate split into three limbs 4, 5 and 6 by slots 2. A wire 15 is threaded between the outer limbs 4 and 5 and the middle limb 6 and as the wire is urged into the termination 1, edges of the limbs 4, 5 and 6 cut through and insulating coating 17 of the wire and any oxide film and into the conductor 16 of the wire. The limbs 4 and 5 splay apart in the direction of a plane containing the termination 1 and the limbs 4 and 5 also splay apart from the middle limbs 6 in a direction transverse to the plane. This provides the limbs with two directions of movement and this terminating assembly is particularly useful when the conductor 16 is made from aluminium.
