Abstract

A terminal housing (1) for accommodating a power terminal (2) and a cable shoe (3) connected to the power terminal (2). The terminal housing (1) has a clamping section (4), which has a clamping section wall (37), which delimits a clamping volume (6) for accommodating the power terminal (2) and the cable shoe (3). The clamping section (4) comprises a screw opening (12) which is open in the axial direction (5). A cover (14) removably covers the screw opening (12), where the cover (14) is attached to the clamping section (4) via at least one snap-fit connection (20). The snap-fit connection (20) is provided by at least one resilient cantilever (22).
