The connection between a conductor and other equipment (fixed appliances, consumer units, distribution boards, etc) or an accessory is normally called a termination.
Connections that joint cables together are normally termed joints.
A poorly constructed termination or joint may overheat, giving rise to arcing with the passage of load current, resulting in localized heating which will may lead to an increased fire risk and progressive deterioration of the joint.
You will learn about the above concepts in more detail in this unit.
