Flying lead

English term or phrase: Flying lead
Flying lead heater wire connector

Danish translation:flying lead
Explanation:
There is no such animal as a "flying lead connector". A "flying lead" is a wire/cable that is permanently attached to a device at one end and unconnected (and without a connector) at the other.

"Flying lead" is normally left untranslated. In this case I suspect that they mean a "terminalblock" for connecting the "flying lead" from the heater.

disagree  Sven Petersson: No, it's not "løst"; its permanently attached in one end!

neutral  NetLynx: Jeg er heller ikke glad for den oversættelse; en løs ledning er normalt én, der ikke er fæstnet korrekt.

Rettelse: '[stik til varmekabels] frie ende'
- det fremgik af et andet spørgsmål, at der er tale om et varmekabel og ikke et varmeaggregat.
