A magazine-type wiring accessory crimping tool comprises two handles articulated to each other which are squeezed together to form at least one crimping deformation in a wiring accessory disposed between them. One of the handles forms a magazine receiving a plurality of parallel wiring accessories to be dispensed and crimped. A dispenser is removably received in this handle and accommodates the plurality of wiring accessories. The other handle incorporates a crimping plate and the first mentioned handle includes a crosspiece aligned with this crimping plate adapted to withstand the crimping force applied by the crimping plate to a wiring accessory.

A dispenser for wiring accessories has an elongate plate-like configuration and comprises a baseplate from which projects a bar extending transversely across the baseplate to a width less than the width of the baseplate. A longitudinal groove in the bar parallel to the baseplate runs the full length of the bar. A lip faces the longitudinal edge of the bar into which the groove opens. The lip is parallel to and spaced from this longitudinal edge. The baseplate is extended at one end of the bar. A transverse cradle on this extension receives a wiring accessory and a longitudinal finger projects cantilever-fashion from the bar over the cradle and is spaced from the cradle to retain a wiring accessory in the cradle.

A terminal block includes a housing adapted to be fixed to a support rail which has two flanges each with a right-angle lip along its free edge. Inside the housing are a metal bearing member which is fixed relative to the housing and a metal clamping member which is movable relative to the bearing member. Both these members have two branches. A screw passes through a bore in the bearing member. Hook faces on respective branches of the bearing member face towards the head of the screw and bearing faces on respective branches of the clamping member face away from the head of the screw. When the terminal block is mounted on a support rail at least one of the hook faces and at least one of the bearing faces bear on the rail. The clamping member is U-shaped, having a central part on the side of the bearing member opposite the head of the screw and side flanges embracing the bearing member. This central part is attached to the screw but can rotate relative to the screw.
