Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9722986A1] A device for connecting an external conductor such as a cable to a contact of an electrical apparatus such as a circuit breaker is disclosed. The device includes as metal block (14) releasably fitted in a terminal compartment (2-5) at the back of the housing (B) of the circuit breaker (D) and provided with an elongate through-hole for receiving a circuit breaker terminal strip (6-9), and a clamping screw (23) extending through the upper portion of the block (14) for clamping the cable against the contact (6-9). The end of the clamping screw (23) located inside the block comprises a clamping shoe (24) with projections (25-28) (or recesses) engaging matching recesses (29-32) (or projections) on said terminal strip (6-9) so that the cable is positively retained between the shoe (24) and the contact (6-9) when the screw (23) is tightened.
