Abstract
The application relates to an electrical connection device (100) including a terminal block (10) adapted for connecting to a lug of an electrical cable. The terminal block (10) comprises a locking sleeve (3) adapted for securing the lug so as to enable translation between the terminal block (10) and the lug. The sleeve (3) comprises a first portion (1) and a second portion (2), as well as a pivot element (13, 14) configured such that the first and second portions (1, 2) pivot relative to one another. The pivot element comprises a pin (14) which is connected to the second portion (2) and engaged with the first portion (1) on the side of the first portion (1) substantially opposite the side of the first portion (1) facing the second portion (2). Advantageously, relative rotational is also allowed. A busbar is preferably connected to the terminal block.
