Abstract
At least one terminal is provided comprising a screw (3) for securing wires and/or wire terminal lugs between a conducting wall of a connecting link (2) and a clamping plate (4) both traversed by the screw which also pulls together. Terminal is lodged in an insulating case (1) and comprises a screw retainer (1B4, 1B5) molded with the case and arranged to both guide the screw in its longitudinal travel between an open position in which the screw, the connecting link and the clamping plate leave open a passage from a wire ring-tongue terminal and a blocking position in which the clamping plate and the connecting link are brought together and retract the screw into an open position into the retainer by the latter's pressure against the bottom of the screw head.
