An electrical contact system includes a contact having a barrel with a wire entry portion having a first diameter, a clip portion having a second diameter, and a cam portion having a second diameter at a first end that tapers to a third diameter at a second end near the wire entry portion. The system also includes a clip positioned in the clip portion of the barrel, wherein ends of inwardly directed tines of the clip are configured to engage the conductor to enable the clip to be drawn onto the cam portion in response to a user pulling the wire after insertion of the conductor through the clip.
