ASSEMBLY FOR CONNECTING TWO TERMINALS AND ASSOCIATED CONNECTION TERMINAL BLOCK

A vice-type terminal block for electrically connecting a pair of lugs by clamping them together. Each lug includes a barrel extending along an axis and a radially extending flange connected to the barrel. The flange has, on the opposite side to where the barrel is located, an electrical contact surface normal to the axis. The vice-type terminal block includes two opposing plates and a clamping system. Each plate includes a slot for receiving one of the lugs such that the flange of the lug is on one side of the plate, whereas the barrel is on the other side. The pair of lugs are supported such that their electrical contact surfaces face one another and are aligned.
