Abstract
An electrical connection module receives terminal pins which are mounted on the ends of wires. The module includes a sheet metal connection piece which is bent into the shape of a pair of adjacent U-shaped sections. Each of these sections has a bottom, one branch provided with pink-guiding bosses, and another branch provided with a contact tongue which engages the pin. One of the branches has an upper portion provided with a locking catch for engaging the locking collar of a terminal pin. The connection piece can be subdivided into portions which are held in a housing which has a closing piece provided with pin-receiving orifices.
