Abstract:
1. Terminal connection ( 1 ), comprising a threaded sleeve ( 2 ), a counter-sleeve ( 3 ) or a pressure part that can be connected to the threaded sleeve, and a terminal insert that can he pressed against an elongated body ( 4 ), wherein the counter-sleeve ( 3 ) or the pressure part exerts pressure or covers the terminal insert with a ring-shaped contact surface at least at one end and upon tightening a thread with a tapering shape, which is arranged on the terminal insert, in the threaded sleeve ( 2 ), or in the counter-sleeve ( 3 ), deforms a region of the terminal insert provided with slots or similar free spaces radially against the elongated body and wherein the threaded sleeve ( 2 ) has a radially extending collar or flange ( 5 ), having peripheral contours that are non-round or polygonal that define radially projecting regions or edges, wherein the terminal connection ( 1 ) includes a coupling piece ( 6 ) that can be connected therewith in a detachable manner that includes a depression ( 7 ) having a through-opening ( 8 ) for the elongated body ( 4 ), the radially projecting collar ( 5 ) of the threaded sleeve ( 2 ) fits and can be inserted into the depression ( 7 ), the coupling piece ( 6 ) has projections ( 9 ) directed radially inwardly on a front edge region of the depression ( 7 ) in an insertion direction of the threaded sleeve ( 2 ) for covering the collar ( 5 ) of the threaded sleeve ( 2 ) in the coupling position, and the coupling piece ( 6 ) adjacent to the depression ( 7 ) has an attachment region ( 10 ) for connecting to at least one of a counterpart, a retaining nut or a through-opening ( 11 ) of the housing ( 12 ), wherein the coupling piece ( 6 ) has intermediate spaces ( 14 ) between the radially inwardly directed projections ( 9 ), and a size of the intermediate spaces ( 14 ) in the radial and circumferential direction is equal to or greater than that of the radially projecting regions or edges of the collar ( 5 ) of the tenninal connection ( 1 ).
