Abstract
A connecting terminal and a circuit breaking device having the connecting terminal are provided. A plate-shaped second bus-bar,welded to a conductive thermit casing,through a low melting point metal,. The bus-bar,has an orifice,formed to fix a wire with a terminal body by thread fastening and a thin part,formed between the orifice,and the metal,to have a plate thickness smaller than that of the other portion of the bus-bar,. The thin part,is provided with wedge-shaped notches,. When fastening a screw inserted into the orifice,in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, a stress resulting from the rotation is absorbed by the thin plate,and the notches,in pairs. Consequently, owing to the absorption, it is possible to restrict the stress from being transmitted to the welding part of the low melting point metal
