Abstract

A control and/or indicator unit with screw terminals includes a one-piece body forming a flange provided with an external screwthread for fitting it by means of a nut to a support and surrounded at the rear by a cap in which are openings for wires and for access to the screws whose axes are parallel to the axis of symmetry of the body. The screws cooperate with connecting areas of bent conductive members held eccentric to the axis of symmetry in the body which provides a cylindrical internal housing open on the same side as the conductive members for at least one mobile contact plunger or a mobile contact plunger and a luminous component or a luminous component.
