Abstract
The invention relates to an electrical fixing terminal for an electrical switchgear apparatus being disconnected by an axial withdrawal motion. In particular, an extractable circuit breaker, comprising a protruding part extending parallel to an axis of withdrawal and, defined by its external surface on the side where its free end is located a contact surface designed to cooperate with fixing jaws of a plug-in contact whose plug-in jaws are designed to cooperate by plug-in with an electrical plug-in terminal. The contact surface follows the outline of a cylinder sector of axis perpendicular to the axis of the protruding part, of opening angle greater than 180.degree. and is designed to form a pivot for rotation of the plug-in contact around the axis of the cylinder. An application is plug-in multipole circuit breakers.
