Abstract
This device is made from a flat resilient material, which has a first branch intended to bear against a fixed conducting part of a connection terminal, a moving sharply-angled second branch having, on the side of its free end, an approximately planar part provided with an opening intended for passage of the end of a cable to be connected and a part facing the first branch, as well as a linking region which joins the two branches, thus forming a loop. Each branch has a part which is concave toward the outside of the loop and the two concave parts are approximately facing each other and form a narrows inside the loop.
