  • Patent number: 10615522
    Abstract: A connecting system for a ring terminal for a baseplate of a terminal block comprises holding means for the terminal, and a clamping device configured to clamp the ring terminal once the ring terminal is held. The connecting system is configured such that the ring terminal bearing against at least one of the holding means generates a relative gap of the holding means with respect to each other, and then to move the holding means closer to each other, under the bias of a spring member when the holding means are located facing the ring of the terminal, so as to hold the ring terminal.
