ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a slot type connecting terminal (40) which may make a connection between the conductor material (Wc) of the insulated conductor (W) and the slot (42) by penetration into the insulation of conductor and contacting the conductor material therewith in the area at least half a circle of the arcuate, by weighing down of the conductor after setting the insulated conductor into said slot (42) of terminal (40), and the slot having semi-circular knife edge profile in at least the lower part thereof will penetrate and make a contact area between them. The cover (20) and the terminal block body (30) have respective conductor receiving groove (23, 33) to securely hold the connected conductor in place. Said cover has a scoring line (24) formed in transverse direction to the length of said cover by cutting off a part of its height leaving thin film at the scoring line such that said scoring line will act as a snap hinge (25). Since only the movable portion of the cover is snappingly engaged by the hooks (36, 38) provided in the terminal block body (30), access into the connected conductor within the terminal body can be made by simply turning up the movable portion of the cover (20) when connecting the conductor or during inspection or maintenance of the connection.
