[origin: EP0211710A1] 1. A connecting terminal (10) for a cable conductor, of the type formed by a one-piece sheet metal clip comprising two opposite branches (29, 40) interconnected via a connecting strap (60) which is generally transverse thereto, one (20) of the branches having an orifice (23) receiving the body of a fixing screw (90) and also serving as a support for the head of the screw, the other branch (40) having, opposite the orifice (23), an opening (43) with which the thread of the screw (90) engages to clamp a cable conductor introduced between said branches, characterized in that : it comprises lugs (46, 47, 48) which project from one of the branches and are adapted to be introduced into the orifices of a supporting base having a printed circuit and to be connected thereto by soldering to electric connections, at least one of the branches (20, 40) is generally L-shaped and is formed by a main portion (21, 41) connected to the connecting strap (60) and a secondary portion (22, 42) connected to the main portion and generally transverse thereof, the secondary portion (22, 42) takes the form of an outwardly convex part-cylindrical cap adapted to be brought into contact with the conductor, and at least one free edge (31, 32) of the main portion (21) is deformed by bending to form a stiffener.
