German term or phrase: Büschel-Steckverbindungen
SuperBüschel-Steckverbindungen kommen zum Einsatz, wenn Anwendungen besonders hohe Stromtragfähigkeit erforderlich machen.

Ernst suggests "bunch plug" but this doesn't google well in connection with "circuit board" (just two hits). As always, any help appreciated.

I would like to split the points here, because Kenneth's answer is essentially correct (and helped me a lot), but I stuck with the brand name since that was what the client wanted. I'll add several suggestions to the glossary. Thanks to everyone.

spring-wire connector


Explanation:
Pretty sure what this means. 'SuperBüschel' gets no google hits, so the claim to fame of this particular variant is unclear.

The advantage of a spring-wire connector is that it provides a relatively large contact area (and thus low contact resistance and high current capacity) and reliable contact.

A standard "Buschelplug' is a banana plug with multiple spring-wire contacts arranged radially instead of the more common flat-spring contacts. AFAIK it is very rarely used in English-speaking countries, hence the lack of a common English name.

In principle (and AFAIK), spring-wire connectors can have the spring wires fitted to the male (plug) contacts (like a Büschelplug) or the female (socket) contacts. The latter type is sometimes called a 'basket contact' or some variant on that term.
