The terminal (2) has a connector (12) for connecting to an electrical network, and a fixed part (4) delimiting a housing (6) with an opening (8). A movable part (10) is movable through the opening between a retracted position and an extended position. The movable part includes a sleeve (24) with a tubular window (26) for access to the connector received within the sleeve.
