Abstract
A power terminal for electrical connection of an electric cable to a circuit board comprises a main body (8a) having a central longitudinal axis and means (12, 12a) for attaching a cable to the main body. An eccentric body (8b) integral with the main body (8a) and having a through hole (13) is arranged to receive a screw. A space (20) is provided at the bottom of the power terminal adjacent to the eccentric body. This configuration provides a means for securing the terminal in an easy and efficient way while also providing for mounting of a current measuring device, for example.
