Abstract:
1. An electric terminal block for connecting wires comprising an insulating body which has, formed therein, a first pair of seats open in a transverse direction and symmetrical with respect to a central axis of symmetry parallel to a vertical direction, an electrical connection conductor and at least one spring part adapted for retaining wires against the electrical connection conductor, wherein, the electrical connection conductor is formed by a U-shaped plate having a first vertical conductor arm and a second vertical conductor arm and the spring part includes a conducting body substantially in the form of an overturned “U” with a vertical arm substantially parallel to the vertical direction and a second arm forming an acute angle with the vertical arm and having a free end, the two arms being connected by a convex curved section adapted to produce a resilient reaction of the second arm with respect to the vertical arm, wherein, the vertical arm is joined to a U-shaped base having a first vertical arm for connection to the vertical arm of the body, a second vertical arm having a free end and a longitudinal section connecting together the first vertical arm and the second vertical arm of the U-shaped base, the U-shaped base being adapted to engage the conducting part and the terminal block, the terminal block having at least one seat close to the central axis of symmetry with dimensions corresponding to the arm of the base of the spring part and able to allow seating and retention of the spring part when the spring part is assembled in terminal block.
