Abstract
The connecting spring is made of a flat elastic material with a certain thickness which has a pressing branch which is intended to rest against a conducting strip of a connection terminal, a moving branch, having on a same side of a free end, a more or less flat part with an opening intended for the passage of the end of a conductor that is to be connected and, a rear part facing the pressing branch, and a connecting region connecting the pressing branch to the moving branch, forming a loop. The pressing branch has an elbow toward an inside of the loop forming a first side of the elbow facing the conducting strip so that when the pressing branch is pressed against the conducting strip, a distance separating the first side of the elbow from a second side of the conducting strip facing the elbow is greater than the thickness of the material used to make the spring.
