Connection device for conductor

Abstract

The present invention relates to a connection device, particularly for disposing in an insulating material housing, implemented for directly connecting to a conductor without tools, and comprising the following: a clamping frame, and a clamping spring for clamping the conductor that can be inserted into the clamping frame in a conductor insertion direction against a conductive support element in the clamping frame, wherein the clamping spring comprises at least one attachment leg and a clamping leg connected to the attachment leg by means of a bend, having one or both of the following characteristics: the clamping frame is designed as a U-profile made of a sheet metal spring, and/or the attachment leg is aligned at an angle to the conductor insertion direction.

Description

technical field The invention relates to a connection device for conductors according to the preamble of claim 1. Background technique Such connection devices are known in a variety of configurations. Over the years, particular emphasis has been placed again on long-known connection means that allow tool-free switching (plugging in). Reference is therefore made in this regard, for example, to DE 30 19 149 C2, DE 201 17 770 U1 and DE 20 2006 009 460 U1. These instructions respectively show a screwless terminal with a clamping spring (compression spring) for tightly clamping the conductor at the clamping point between the free leg of the compression spring and the conductor rail. In the following this contact is referred to as "direct plug-in technology". It is also known to assign a pressing element to a connecting device, with which the clamping point in contact can be released again.
