Italian term or phrase: antisvitante
Good morning.
I am looking for the proper term meaning "antisvitante"

This is written in a technical data sheet for induction motors.
context:
il serraggio dei capicorda o dei conduttori sarà di tipo indiretto ed antisvitante.

I imagine it is saying something along the lines of "the clamping of the wire terminals or conductors shall be an indirect type and ........ some special little doodad so they don't come undone.
