Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2023011946A1] The invention relates to an automatic connection terminal (100; 200; 300) comprising a metal strip (110; 210; 310) having two portions (111, 112; 211, 212; 311, 312) connected by a bridge (113; 213; 313) and a spring leaf (120; 220; 320) which extends parallel to a first (111; 211; 311) of said two portions of the metal strip and in line with the bridge, an opening (114; 214; 314) being provided at the bridge so as to allow a conductor wire (1) to pass into an insertion location (L1; L2; L3), a portion of which is located between the spring leaf and a second (112; 212; 312) of said two portions of the metal strip, said second portion of the metal strip forming a projection (112A; 212A; 312A) at the top of which is a first electrical contact zone (Z1; Z2; Z3) between the metal strip and the conductor wire, against which contact zone said spring leaf is suitable for clamping said conductor wire when the latter is inserted through said opening into the connection terminal. According to the invention, said metal strip forms, opposite said second portion of the metal strip, a wall (130; 230; 330) which extends at least partially into the insertion location (L1; L2; L3) of the conductor wire, so as to provide a second electrical contact zone (Z4; Z5; Z6) between the metal strip and the conductor wire, which zone is separate from the first contact zone.
