French term or phrase: bornes de connexion rapides à ressort

L’essentiel des progrès relève plus de la simplification et de l’optimisation : améliorer l’usage des produits pour faciliter la vie de l’artisan et gagner du temps. Les *bornes de connexion rapides à ressort* ou les nouvelles gammes modulaires en Europe, qui évitent le vissage, en sont un parfait exemple.

Looking for a specific term here... one kudos glossary entry for "bornes contact a ressort" give "binding post" as the English term... would this apply here?

Many thanks in advance.

bornes de connexion rapides à ressort clip-on connector/terminal

Explanation:
borne de connexion is an electrical connector or terminal, that bit I know. The ressort presumably refers to a spring or clip hence avoiding the need for screws (vissage). There will be a correct english term for this type of connector somewhere but can't find it yet :-)

bornes de connexion rapides à ressort spring-loaded terminals for rapid connection

Explanation:
"Binding-post terminal" also exists. Not an expert, so not quite sure exactly what the difference is. Any possibility of asking the client for more information?
