An electrical assembly includes a terminal block including a conductive bar having a connection end extending within a receiving recess of the terminal block, a pluggable connector releasably mounted on the terminal block, and a conductor adapter having a receptacle cooperating with the connection end in the mounted position. The connection end of the conductive bar extends in an insertion direction of the pluggable connector in a mounted position within the receiving recess. The pluggable connector has a central through-opening receiving and removably clipping the conductor adapter.

A terminal block receiving non-stripped wire ends includes an insulating casing, a conductive part installed within the casing, and a displacement tool. The conductive part includes a cooperating slot defined by two cooperating blades forming an insulation-displacement contact connection of a non-stripped wire end. The cooperating blades are parallel to a connection axis of the connection part. The displacement tool displaces the non-stripped wire end in a direction of the connection axis from a disconnected position to a connected position. In the connected position, the two cooperating blades are in electrical contact with a central conducting core of the non-stripped wire end. The displacement tool is attached to the insulating casing by a connection element of the terminal block.

A safety electrical assembly includes an electrical apparatus having a connecting zone with a plurality of terminals each connected to a cable, each of the terminals having a connecting opening formed within an insulating housing of the electrical apparatus, a protective cover cooperating with the electrical apparatus in a mounted position, and a main opening for the cables connected to the terminals extending from an exterior area to an interior area of the safety electrical assembly. The interior area is defined between the electrical apparatus and the protective cover. The connecting openings are disposed in the interior area. The main opening is arranged so that a direct trajectory from any point of the main opening oriented toward any point of any connecting opening intersects an obstacle of the safety electrical assembly.

An electrical apparatus such as an electrical contactor or a terminal block, comprises a casing made of an electrically insulating material, a conductive bar mounted in the casing and at least one push-in type connection terminal. The terminal comprises a contact spring having an elastic portion undergoing an elastic deformation under the action of an external force applied on the contact spring either by an electrical conductor during its insertion at a first aperture of the casing so as to place the electrical conductor in a contact position located between the contact spring and the conductive bar in order to establish an electrical connection between the electrical conductor and the conductive bar, or by a tool inserted into a second aperture of the casing so as to open the contact spring and release the electrical conductor in order to remove it out of its contact position. The electrical apparatus comprises a support clip independent of the casing and of the conductive bar. The clip comprises fastening elements allowing mounting of the support clip on the contact spring and delimits a bearing face against which the contact spring bears during the deformation of its elastic portion under the action of the external force in order to impose the manner in which the elastic portion spatially deforms and against which the contact spring abuts in its maximum deformation state in order to limit the elastic deformation of the elastic portion of the contact spring below a predetermined value regardless of the intensity of the external force.
