Hi everyone,
I am translating a document describing maintenance operations on a high-power rectifier.
It is comosed of separate chapters on the rectifier components semi-conducteur, résistance snubber, fusible de puissance... mainly describing instructions for replacing or checking for defects... I have a picture showing the "clinquant" I can't save the text boxes but the clinquant is the black tab with the wavy part extending to the left of the picture fitted with the screws and the blue washers on the top of the drawing: http://hpics.li/0e00ae9
It is used in the following chapter:
Décrocher avec précaution le micro-contact du fusible et le laisser pendre.
Maintenir à l’aide d’une clé hexagonale (Allen) la vis située côté clinquant.
Desserrer l’écrou en maintenant la clé hexagonale (Allen) en position pour éviter la rotation de la vis.
Répéter l’opération pour les autres vis en prenant garde de ne pas faire tomber la plaque de répartition des efforts de serrage.
Retirer complètement les vis à l’aide de la clé hexagonale (Allen) et écarter légèrement le clinquant.
Dévisser les écrous de fixation de la semelle du fusible sur la barre fusibles.
Do you have any ideas? I was thinking of "tag" as for a fuse, when you search for clinquant it gives you "foil" or "metal foil" but I am not sure about that, it looks more like a clip of some sort?

Braid is the conductor of choice where flexibility is required. It is sometimes used for electrically bonding parts of a vehicle, for example an exhaust pipe, door, or hood. At tower sites, braid is good for bonding swinging gates or doors to a ground system
- flexibility is a must in such an application. Braid also has some degree of popularity for bonding amateur radio equipment to a common ground buss because of its flexibility.

Copper laminated flexible jumper are manufactured by stacking several foils of electrolytic copper and then applying high current under high pressure. This is a special metal diffusion whereby the metal itself melts and forms homogenous bonds thus giving a very negligible, almost nil, mill volt drop across the connector, thereby reducing the temperature rise and increasing the current carrying capacity of the jumper.

Laminated flexible conductors are made of several copper sheets bounded at the two ends using press/diffusion welding process. The unbounded areas of the conductor allows more rooms for flexibility and heat dissipation.

ISOFLEXX® is an insulated laminated busbar of the highest technical standard. ISOFLEXX® sets a new benchmark in the area of flexible busbars with its highly developed and proven technology
:
ISOFLEXX® is made up of several layered copper lamellas durably protected by special highgrade PVC insulation (ISOFLEXX® Classic) or environment-friendly halogen-free silicon insulation (ISOFLEXX® Premium). The loose arrangement of the lamellas in the insulation allows problem-free bending and twisting, and the fine lamination gives ISOFLEXX® its outstanding flexibility.

: Maybe, but I find your explanation impossible to understand. It's just lots of dictionary entries, some apparently relating to words other than "clinquant", and I don't see where you get "laminated" from.

I know it from my previous activities, esp. with switchgear terminals and heavy-current devices.

Discussion
In our case the terminals/leads/conductors consist of flat metal sheets, either laminated or braided for flexibility.
Nota : Le terme《 clinquant 》n'est pas un terme d'électricité, mais applicable dans les autres domaines.
In electrical technical language, a 'contactor' is a quite specific device, and is not at all what you are dealing with here.
At best, it might have been accurate to describe it as a 'contact strip'
The client finally went for contactor strip. Thank you all very much for your help, have a nice day
I normally describe and denominate electrical parts from its function or purpose, rather than its manufacturing process or shape.

Could the black wavy bit be covered in foil? Johannes has suggested "flexible conductor", which is a possibility. The top of the black bit is shown in grey, which suggests it may be a different material.
I think it was also mentioned in the text of your other question, wasn't it?
Ah yes, here is the text from your other questions:
« Faire coulisser légèrement l’ensemble clinquant/boîte à eau pour libérer le semi-conducteur
Nettoyer si besoin la poussière autour de l’ensemble barre / composant / boîte à eau. »
And the other image show the other end of the 'clinquant' — it does indeed seem to be what hold the semiconductor down, and possibly makes contact with it?
