Abstract

A slot connector terminal structure for an electrical wire, in particular for an electrical terminal block, in which structure at least one conductive connector part is held stationary in a housing (5) provided with a wire-insertion through opening (23) extending facing an insulation-displacement and core-retaining slot (6) in the connector part, which opening makes it possible firstly for a wire to be connected to be inserted transversely above the slot, and secondly for the wire to be subsequently held stationary via its sheath, the housing further including positioning means for positioning a special connection tool, which positioning means are implemented in the form of a projecting element through which a moving blade of the tool penetrates. The projecting element is provided with a slot (13) into which the wire-insertion through opening (23) opens, which slot makes it possible for the blade of a tool to penetrate into and slide along the slot inside the housing.
