Abstract
A device for connecting an electric conductor mounted within a housing is provided, on a first lateral face, with an opening for the introduction of the electric conductor and, on a further lateral face perpendicular to the first one, with another opening for the introduction of a tool. Said device comprises a contact member secured within the housing and means for resilient jamming of the electric conductor against the contact member. The means for resiliently jamming the conductor consist of a single member comprising a presser tongue contained in a plane making an acute angle with the plane of the contact member and a portion for transmitting the resilient force created by resilient means which bear on the face of the contact member opposite to that on which the tongue bears. The portion is contained in a plane adjacent to the contact member at right angles with the plane of the contact member and parallel to the direction of introduction of the wire.
