Abstract

A screw terminal assembly for a wiring device includes a terminal base with a bore having an internal thread. A
screw having a shank with an internal thread and a head at one end is threadedly engaged in the bore. A portion of the external thread is deformed adjacent the end remote from the head to limit removal of the screw from the bore.
