Abstract
Elastic connection terminal for an electric switch or junction device, comprising an elastic loop placed on a conducting part and an auxiliary part capable of forming a stop for the end of the cable.The assembly and behaviour of the terminal are improved by placing an auxiliary part 30 in contact with the back of the support strip 18 of the conducting part 14. The part 30 is provided with at least on attachment element, for example a lug 34, engaged with the connection region of the support strip, and guide panels for the cable. The guide panels extend close to the connection area and they have a slope adapted to the curved shape of the loop 20 so as to guide it.
