Abstract (en)

A connecting device suitable for connecting a movable conducting terminal of a switching device to a stationary conducting terminal of a switchgear apparatus, comprises: - a support body suitable for being fastened to the movable conducting terminal; - a plier assembly projecting from the support body parallely to a first axis and delimiting a coupling cavity for receiving the stationary conducting element, the coupling cavity extending along the first axis and along a second axis orthogonal to the first axis, - insertion-contact-means having leading-surfaces configured for promoting a resilient deformation of the plier assembly upon a contacting-pushing-action of the stationary conducting terminal for enabling insertion of the latter into the coupling cavity, the leading-surfaces comprising zones sloping along planes which are parallel to the second axis and tilted with respect to the first axis, and further zones sloping along further planes which are tilted with respect to the second axis, so as to enable an insertion of the stationary conducting element into the coupling cavity along an insertion-direction which can be parallel or transversal to the first axis.
