What is one method of terminating a wiring device?

The method of terminating a wiring device referred to in this question is side wiring. This technique involves inserting the wire into a terminal or connector on the side of the device and securing it in place, typically with a screw. Side wiring is commonly used for devices such as outlets and switches, as it allows for a secure and reliable connection while also facilitating easy installation and removal.

In contrast, twist wiring involves twisting the ends of two or more wires together to make a connection, which is less common in modern wiring devices that typically feature terminals designed expressly for side wiring. Screw wiring is not a widely recognized term within standard wiring practices, and although it may imply securing a wire to a device using a screw, this is generally associated with side wiring. The term "pole wire" does not correspond to any standard wiring technique related to the termination of devices. Therefore, side wire is the most accurate and recognized method for terminating wiring devices.
