Abstract: The invention relates to a device for fixing an electrical connection terminal to a support having an opening extending between opposed front and rear faces, the device comprising: a bush for location within the opening of the support and provided with opposed front and rear ends between which extends a through-hole, the bush having a first deformation region configured for lateral expansion; a dowel configured for forced insertion into the through-hole so as to cause deformation of the bush, the dowel being provided with connection means engageable with a connector to facilitate the forced insertion of the dowel into the bush and to facilitate fastening of a terminal to the support; characterised in that the bush includes a second deformation region configured for axial contraction and lateral expansion upon forced insertion of the dowel in the bush.

Abstract: A device for fixing an electrical connection terminal to a support provided with an opening, the device comprising: a generally tubular bush for location within the opening of the support and provided with opposed front and rear ends between which extends a bore; a dowel configured for forced insertion into the bore so as to cause outward deformation of the bush, the dowel being provided with connection means engageable with a connector for fastening the terminal to the support and to facilitate the forced insertion; wherein there is further provided a weak region interconnecting the bush and the dowel.

Abstract: A fixing device for fixing an electrical connection terminal to a support having a first side, a second side opposite to the first side, and defining a through hole of a first diameter. The fixing device comprises: a ring including a receiving portion partially defining an axial recess and insertable in the through hole; a dowel including an insert portion axially insertable into the recess of the ring and a locking portion axially spaced from the insert portion, the dowel partially defining an axial bore including an internal thread, and in the locking portion the internal thread of the bore is a distorted locking thread; and a fixing screw including a threaded shank engagable with the dowel. Tightening of the fixing screw draws the insert portion of the dowel axially into the recess of the ring, thereby radially expanding the ring into press-fit engagement with the through hole.
