En la actualidad, los terminales macho empleados en el referido tipo de conectores de inserción lateral, se diferencian fundamentalmente porque tradicionalmente, los terminales, tanto macho como hembra, se introducían en el cuerpo del conector por la parte superior, así como por la parte inferior del mismo, por las embocaduras correspondientes a dichas cavidades, conectándose eléctrica y mecánicamente ambos en su interior, quedando a su vez retenidos en las referidas cavidades por los medios mecánicos correspondientes habitualmenteCurrently, the male terminals used in the aforementioned type of lateral insertion connectors are fundamentally differentiated because traditionally, the terminals, both male and female, were inserted into the connector body from the top, as well as from the bottom thereof, through the mouths corresponding to said cavities, both connecting electrically and mechanically inside, being in turn retained in said cavities by the corresponding mechanical means usually
utilizados.used.
Dichos conectores de inserción lateral, han ido evolucionando en el Estado de la Técnica de manera que las cavidades dispuestas regularmente en su interior se encuentran dotadas de medios de retención de los terminales, de manera que una vez colocados estos en su posición funcional no puedan desplazarse ni moverse,Said lateral insertion connectors have evolved in the State of the Art so that the cavities regularly arranged inside are they are equipped with means for retaining the terminals, so that once they are placed in their functional position they cannot move or move,
gracias a contar de una sola base lateral.thanks to having a single lateral base.
Por todo esto, precisamente para ser aplicados en dicho tipo de conectores,For all this, precisely to be applied in said type of connectors,
se hace necesario idear unos terminales de especial estructura, diseñados específicamente para ser insertados en el conector perfeccionado de inserciónit is necessary to devise terminals with a special structure, specifically designed to be inserted into the improved insert connector
lateral, protegido por el modelo de utilidad 9900772, en un mecanismo que facilita la conexión del conector en su alojamiento mediante una reducción de los esfuerzos necesarios para realizar dicha operación. Por todo ello, la presente invención, terminal macho perfeccionado paraside, protected by the utility model 9900772, in a mechanism that facilitates the connection of the connector in its housing by reducing the efforts necessary to carry out this operation. Therefore, the present invention, an improved male terminal for

Además, la referida base de sujeción se encuentra formada por una estructura prismática,lateral insertion connector, comes to consist of a cable terminal structure consisting of a clamping base from which each of its two ends exit, a connection plug and a cable guide trough. In addition, the aforementioned support base is formed by a prismatic structure,
provista de ventanas laterales y horizontales para sujeción, mediante pestañas provistas en el mecanismo de fijación en el conector, susceptibles de soportar los esfuerzos en ambas direcciones transversales al eje longitudinal del terminal.provided with lateral and horizontal windows for fastening, by means of tabs provided in the fixing mechanism in the connector, capable of withstanding the efforts in both directions transverse to the longitudinal axis of the terminal.
Asimismo, la forma de la propia clavija de conexión del descrito terminal, adopta un perfil también prismático, de paredes rectas, paralelas al eje longitudinal. De esta manera, también la propia forma de la citada clavija de conexión contribuye a afianzar el terminal en el interior del referido conector de inserción lateral.Likewise, the shape of the connecting pin itself of the described terminal adopts a prismatic profile, with straight walls, parallel to the longitudinal axis. In this way, the shape of said connection plug also contributes to securing the terminal inside said lateral insertion connector.
Por otra parte, la citada canaleta se encuentra constituida por una o varias etapas curvas unidas entre si, de canalización del cable, hacia la referida ventana horizontal por la que entra al interior de la descrita base de sujeción del terminal, en cuyo interior se produce la conexión eléctrica con la clavija o elemento de conexión. A continuación, se hará una detallada descripción del terminal machoOn the other hand, the mentioned gutter is made up of one or more curved stages joined together, of cable ducting, towards the referred horizontal window through which it enters the described terminal holding base, inside which the electrical connection with the plug or connection element takes place. Next, a detailed description of the male terminal will be made
