Abstract (en)

A terminal clamp for an electricity meter optimized for a automatized production procedure. The terminal clamp comprising a clamp body comprising a cavity arranged for receiving electrical conductors to be connected and a threaded screw arranged in a matching threaded hole in the clamp body. The screw is arranged to clamp electrical conductors inside the cavity of the clamp body when the screw is screwed into the threaded hole and extends into the clamp cavity. The terminal clamp further comprises a screw locking element, which is arranged to surround the screw in a longitudinal direction and is mechanical fixated relative to the clamp body whereby rotational movement around a longitudinal centre-axis of the screw is prevented. The screw locking element pinch the screw, with the effect of limiting rotational movement of the screw caused by vibrations during the production process.
