An elbow terminator has a socket in which an electrical probe is disposed. The
terminator is insertable onto an electrical bushing such that a tongue of the bushing
is received in the socket of the terminator, and the probe of the terminator is
electrically coupled to a contact sleeve disposed within the tongue. A latching
mechanism produces positive latching between the tongue and socket when the tongue
has been inserted to a predescribed depth within the socket. In order to enable
an operator to visually observe that the tongue has been inserted to the prescribed
depth, the bushing carries a color band which becomes completely disposed (invisible)
in the socket when positive latching occurs. Alternatively, the bushing can be
provided with gauge tabs which become aligned with a witness line formed on the
terminator when positive latching occurs.
