Le connecteur (1) est destiné à être disposé sur une borne (9) de manière à pouvoir assurer une liaison électrique rigide sur ladite borne. Selon une caractéristique avantageuse, le couvercle (3) comportera un volet (10) articulé en (11) sur le corps (2) qui permettra :
- la mise en parallèle d'une batterie auxiliaire par le biais d'une platine (12) de la pièce (8),
- le contrôle de la tension batterie par une flèche banane introduite dans l'alésage (13) de la pièce (8), sans interruption de la liaison principale.
- placing an auxiliary battery in parallel by means of a plate (12) of the part (8),
- control of the battery voltage by a banana arrow introduced into the bore (13) of the part (8), without interrupting the main connection.
Le connecteur est centré sur la borne par une pièce en matière plastique (14) qui assure l'isolation de la connexion sur toutes ses faces.The connector is centered on the terminal by a plastic part (14) which insulates the connection on all its faces.
Le serrage, respectivement le desserrage du connecteur, sont assurés par les pièces (6) et (7).The tightening, respectively the loosening of the connector, are ensured by the parts (6) and (7).
Il s'agit de deux tôles mobiles en translation l'une par rapport à l'autre et formant un serre-borne.These are two sheets movable in translation with respect to each other and forming a terminal clamp.
La borne vient se disposer dans une ouverture (15) de la pièce (6) et (16) de la pièce (7).The terminal is arranged in an opening (15) of the part (6) and (16) of the part (7).
