Described is an electrical screw-on terminal for connection to wires or cables,in particular those with eye connectors, the terminal having a housing (10) and a screw (8) which, as it is screwed in, passes through a first plate (9, 16) and, when fully screwed in, a second plate (11). The first plate (9, 16) is mounted so that it cannot rotate or be moved longitudinally, while the second plate (11) is mounted in the housing (10) so that it can be moved longitudinally but not rotated. When the terminal is completely open, the second plate (11) abuts a stop on the housing (10) and is held in this position by a resistive force, which can be overcome by the screw (8), so that the aperture into which the cable or cable eye is inserted remains unobstructed. The screw (8) can be screwed into a bore (17) in the first plate (9, 16) until it engages the second plate (11). The bore (17) in the first plate (9, 16) has no internal thread, but has projections (14 or 25) which engage in the thread of the screw (8). |
