Patent ID: 6916213

Claim:
A connection base to be used for connecting current supply cables of an electric motor to phase leads of electric motor windings, comprising: a body made of an insulating material and terminals coupled to the body, each terminal comprising at least one angle (α) and at least a first projection and a second projection on the opposite sides of the angle (α), with first reception means for receiving at least the first projection of the terminal and for keeping it in connection said first projection comprising fastening means for fastening said phase leads to the terminal, whereas the body is provided with spaced mounting ribs extending from the body receiving at least the first projection of the terminal when slid along the body, thus keeping said terminal in connection with the body, the body furthermore including reception devices essentially parallel with said mounting ribs, each of these reception devices receiving one of said fastening means arranged to penetrate the first projection of the terminal, the fastening means being slid through a groove of the reception device to a cavity thereof as the terminal is slid along the body fixing the terminal to the mounting ribs, said terminal being locked in connection with the body when the phase lead is fastened to the terminal as an end of the fastening means facing the body of the connection base is rendered essentially fixed in the cavity of the reception device locking the terminal to the body, an end of the phase lead being lockingly connected to an opposite end of the fastening means.
