Terminal

Abstract

The invention relates to a terminal. The terminal is equipped with an insulating material housing, a contact body which is accommodated in the housing and equipped with a contact frame and a contact spring, and a contact spring. The contact spring is equipped with a clamp leg. The clamp leg and the contact frame provide a guide wire clamping part used for guide wire electrical connection. The clamp leg can move between the guide wire clamping part and a guide wire releasing position. The terminal is also equipped with an operation part such that the clamp leg can move between the guide wire clamping part and the guide wire releasing part. The operation part is equipped with a support part section and at least one operation structure. The support part section can rotate around a rotary axisin the insulating material housing. The operation structure is spaced from the support part section in a radial direction and extends in the direction of the rotary axis. Therefore, when the operation part rotates around the rotary axis, the clamp leg moves between the guide wire clamping part and the guide wire releasing position. The insulating material housing is equipped with a support whichextends between the rotary axis and the operation structure along an axial direction such that the at least one operation structure can be supported onto the support part at the guide wire releasing position. The invention also relates to a terminal assembly which is equipped with at least two terminals. Contact frames are integrated as one.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a terminal, in particular a connecting terminal or terminal, for the electrical connection of at least one electrical conductor. Background technique [0002] A terminal of the type mentioned in the introduction is known, for example, from WO 2014 / 124958 A1. The terminal described there has an operating part, which can be moved from a closed position to an open position, in which the clamping opening for connecting an electrical conductor is closed, and in an open position for connecting an electrical conductor The clamping mouth is open. Here, the actuating element is rotatably mounted in a semicircular support contour of the housing made of insulating material by means of a support section, where the actuating contour formed in the support section is combined with a clamping leg for opening and closing the connection clamp Tight mouth. In order to move the clamping leg by means of the actuating element or to apply a force ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In addition, the terminal, in particular the actuating part, can exert a relatively low force on the clamping leg with its actuating contour, which can be especially important in the case of relatively high clamping forces, such as occur for example with conductors with a large cross section. Adverse

This in turn has an adverse effect on the handling of the terminals, especially when conductors with relatively large cross-sections should be used
