Abstract
A cable terminal for electrical connection of a wire to a component. The cable terminal (3) includes a first part (6) and a second part (7). A first part (6) connects to the wire. A second part (7) includes a longitudinal and continuous slot (19) with a first section (8), adapted to the width of a screw head on a screw with which the cable terminal is to be fitted to the component, and a second section (10), adapted to the width of the screw's threaded section. In a first position the slot (19) can be passed over the screw head in the first section (8) so that the cable terminal (3) can be displaced in a direction along the slot so that the screw ends up in a second position in the second section (10). The second part (7) of the cable terminal includes a part (12) that forms a roof (13) positioned at least partly above the first section (8).
