Abstract
The invention relates to a device for fixing an electrical connection terminal to a support having an opening extending between opposed front and rear faces, the device comprising: a bush for location within the opening of the support and provided with opposed front and rear ends between which extends a through-hole, the bush having a first deformation region configured for lateral expansion; a dowel configured for forced insertion into the through-hole so as to cause deformation of the bush, the dowel being provided with connection means engageable with a connector to facilitate the forced insertion of the dowel into the bush and to facilitate fastening of a terminal to the support; characterised in that the bush includes a second deformation region configured for axial contraction and lateral expansion upon forced insertion of the dowel in the bush.
