ABSTRACT:
This electrical terminal is for attachment to a contact bar of U-shaped cross-section with outwardly projecting flanges of the limbs of the U. Two claws extending towards each other are arranged on a retaining foot of the terminal for engaging the two flanges. Between each claw and the retaining foot, there is a recess for accommodating one of the flanges. A clamping body projects into the recesses by way of its opposite end portions and may be forced away from the retaining foot by way of a locking screw threaded into the retaining foot so that each flange can be clamped rigidly between the claws and one end portion of the locking body. Mutually slidingly engaging guiding surfaces on the locking body and the retaining foot respectively prevent displacement and rotation of the clamping body relative to the retaining foot. The side of the body remote from the retaining foot has two inclined surfaces which co-operate with the limbs of the U-shaped contact bar that carry the flanges to effect an automatic centering of the terminal relative to the cross-section of the contact bar.
