Abstract:
1. A flexible tunnel for a connection terminal, said tunnel being made by cutting and bending a metal strip to form a flexible frame delimiting an opening of quadrangular cross section for the insertion of a cable that is to be connected, said opening being delimited by a first and a second lateral branch extending parallel to one another from a bottom, the first branch being extended by an upper branch closing the one-piece structure of the tunnel, the latter two branches being separated from the second branch by at least one first axial clearance running in a direction of travel of a clamping screw, wherein, when the tunnel is in an untightened state, the upper branch through which the clamping screw is intended to pass in a perpendicular manner forms a first angle of deformation with a longitudinal axis of the tunnel parallel to the first and second lateral branches, and the bottom forms a second angle of deformation with the longitudinal axis of the tunnel.
