Abstract
The present invention relates to a connector with a blade comprising a housing. The housing comprises a lateral opening designed to receive an electric wire, a flexible blade and an opening opposite a free part of the blade. The flexible blade is designed to make contact with the electric wire and to retain the wire by applying pressure on it towards a wall of the housing. The opening has a shape designed to guide the head of a tool and make the head of the tool follow a helical motion. The opening may be threaded and cylindrical and the opening's thread may comprise only one helical groove formed in the wall of the opening.
