Abstract

Device for electrically connecting two conductors is provided with a first U-shaped electrical connection component with a base part and two sides, each side incorporating a slot widening at its part opening onto its free end. One of the sides comprising, close to the base part, a connecting band extending substantially perpendicularly to the edge of the side and integral with one of the sides of a second U-shaped electrical connection component with a base part and a second side, the sides of the second connection component incorporating slots widening at their part opening onto their free edge, the connecting band being bent so that the two components are substantially perpendicular to each other and the free edges of the sides of one of the components extending in a direction opposite to that in which the free edges of the sides of the other component extend.
