The present invention relates to a terminal connecting device which simplifies and facilitates achieving the proper alignment between a male-threaded portion of a terminal screw and a female-threaded hole of a stationary terminal, and moreover, which assures that a fastening operation is easily performed. The terminal connecting device includes a terminal screw guiding member adapted to be displaced along a side wall, the terminal screw being engaged with the terminal screw guiding member. The terminal screw or the terminal screw guiding member may also be supported by the resilient action of an elastic member of which one end is supported by the side wall. Alternatively, the terminal screws may be housed in a housing which is slidably attached to the side wall and which may be locked in place with the aid of a resilient member and latching apparatus.
