neutral  Tony M: Yes, but 'flag terminal' does describe one particular KIND of 'cosse'; and they needn't necessarily be 'à sertir' either.

agree  Tony M: Does seem to be also used, though I think the 'plate' is important, as there are types that are angled in the other plane.

Reference: One type...

Reference information:
Here's an illustration of one type of 'flag terminal' — the key feature is that the terminal part is a right-angles to the axis of the wire.

Note that they may be crimp or solder types, and connection may be push-one or screwed.

While looking on Linguee, I found this rather helpful description:

"Flag terminals allow a 90° connection to the terminal block without bending the wire."
