Electrical connection for connecting a phase conductor and ground cable of a thermocouple to the magnet assembly of a gas supply safety cock, including a thermocouple connection head that can be coupled to a complementary contact portion of the magnet assembly, in which the connection head of the thermocouple has a first terminal for the phase conductor, or for the ground cable, and a second terminal for the ground cable, or for the phase conductor, and in which the aforesaid contact portion of the magnet assembly has a complementary jack for the first terminal and a coupling collar for the second terminal. The second terminal advantageously has at least one thin elastic plate internally insertable in the collar, and the thermocouple's connection head and the contact portion of the magnet assembly are shaped to deform the thin elastic plate when inserted inside the same collar in contact with the latter.
Electrical connection for connecting the phase conductor and the ground cable of a thermocouple to the magnet assembly of a gas supply safety cock, comprising a thermocouple connection head that can be coupled to a complementary contact portion of the magnet assembly, in which said thermocouple connection head comprises a first terminal for said phase conductor, or for said ground cable, and a second terminal for said ground cable, or for said phase conductor, and in which said contact portion of the magnet assembly comprises a complementary jack for said first terminal and a coupling collar for said second terminal, wherein said second terminal comprises at least one thin elastic plate insertable inside said collar, said thermocouple connection head and said contact portion of the magnet assembly being shaped to deform said at least one thin elastic plate, when inserted inside and in contact with said collar, said at least one thin elastic plate being shaped to remain in contact in a substantially straight configuration with the inner walls of said collar when said thermocouple connection head is coupled to said contact portion of the magnet assembly, wherein said contact between said at least one thin elastic plate and the inner walls of said collar allows both electrical connection and mechanical coupling between said thermocouple connection head and said contact portion of the magnet assembly, wherein said at least one thin elastic plate comprises a free end and a fixed end fixed to said second terminal, and an outwardly arched portion between said fixed end and said free end that is outwardly arched when said thermocouple connection head is not coupled to said contact portion of the magnet assembly and elastically deformed to form the substantially straight configuration with the inner walls of said collar when said thermocouple connection head is coupled to said contact portion of the magnet assembly.
