Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a conductor clamp for connecting an electrical conductor, having a busbar and a clamping spring that forms a clamping position with the busbar for clamping the conductor. Background Technology

[0002] These conductor clamps or connectors are typically used in such a manner that the user must actively open the corresponding conductor clamping position by means of a lever or button-like actuating element before the conductor can be inserted into or into the clamping position. The actuating element is then released, thereby closing the clamping position and securing the conductor to the busbar and making electrical contact by the clamping spring pressure. Conductor clamps can be designed for single, preferably monofilament or multifilament, particularly fine wire conductors, or they can be designed as connectors for multiple such conductors.

[0003] It is generally desirable, especially in the case of small conductor clamps with the smallest possible size and / or in the case of conductor clamps used to connect electrical conductors with the smallest possible conductor cross-section, that the open clamping position remains open without further action of the actuating element, and that the clamping position can be closed, preferably by the conductor itself, without the actuating element.

[0004] A conductor clamp is known from patent document DE 10 2020 119 372 B4, which has an insulating material housing with a conductor insertion port for receiving an electrical conductor, and a busbar with a through hole for the conductor, and a clamping spring that forms a clamping position for the electrical conductor with the busbar. A retaining element for holding the clamping legs of the clamping spring in the open position of the clamped position has a locking element that engages with a locking element on the clamping legs and a release section, for example, operable by the conductor, for releasing the locking. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a particularly suitable electrical conductor clamp. In particular, it is intended to provide a suitable operating mechanism for opening the clamping position between the clamping spring and the busbar and / or an opening posture for locking the clamping legs of the clamping spring in the clamping position and / or a suitable mechanism for releasing such locking connection.

[0006] This technical problem is solved according to the invention by the features of the parallel claims 1 to 6. Advantageous designs and improvements are the subject of the dependent claims.

[0007] The specifications and configurations for conductor clamps used to connect electrical conductors include busbars and clamping springs, the clamping springs and busbars forming a clamping position for clamping the conductor. Herein and below, "conductor" is particularly understood to refer to the (conductor) core of a (electrical) wire, which is formed by one or more wires made of a conductive material (e.g., copper) and surrounded by a conductor sheath made of an insulating material. The busbars are particularly made of copper or copper material. Clamping springs, suitably designed as helical torsion springs or having abutment legs, clamping legs, and spring arches connecting the legs, are preferably made of spring steel, particularly as stamped and bent components.

[0008] In a suitable design, the conductor clamp has at least one wall element positioned or arranged along the conductor insertion direction after a through-hole or through-hole for clamping the busbar. The wall element advantageously defines an insertion space for the conductor, particularly within the insulating housing of the conductor clamp. Additionally or alternatively, at least one wall element has a receiving area for coupling or being able to couple a functional element to the busbar and / or clamping spring, and / or defines such a receiving space. Here, the wall element, or each wall element, may be part of, for example, a bag-shaped, cap-shaped, or cover-shaped housing portion (housing element), particularly forming a receiving area or receiving space for the functional element or multiple functional sections. The functional element, particularly the functional or triggering section, may also advantageously be mechanically coupled to the conductor.

[0009] In a suitable design, the conductor clamp with at least one wall element has a pivot element, particularly a lever or rocker arm-shaped pivot element. The pivot element is suitably mechanically coupled to the clamping leg of the clamping spring to open the clamping position or the clamping position at the clamping position. The pivot element is advantageously supported on the wall element. Alternatively or concurrently, the pivot element is supported on the busbar and / or in or at the functional element or a section of the functional element (support or functional section, support leg), preferably as a mating support.

[0010] In advantageous designs, where the conductor clamp is designed with at least one wall element and a functional element, the busbar has a through-hole or through-port for the conductor to be clamped. This functional element is arranged at least partially or preferably completely behind the through-port of the busbar or on the back side of the busbar in the conductor insertion direction. Suitably, the functional element has a locking section, particularly a locking element, for establishing a releasable locking connection with the clamping leg of the clamping spring.

[0011] Additionally or alternatively, the functional element has a trigger section for releasing the locking connection between the locking connection or the clamping leg of the clamping spring and the locking element, particularly the locking element of the locking section of the functional element. Additionally or alternatively, the functional element has a section (support or functional section) for supporting, particularly a lever-like pivoting element, which is mechanically coupled to the clamping spring or its clamping leg to open the clamping position.

[0012] According to a suitable design, when the conductor clamp has a functional element preferably arranged at least partially after the through or through opening of the busbar in the conductor insertion direction, the busbar has at least one wall or flange section. This is suitably arranged on or in the area of ​​the through or through opening of the busbar.

[0013] The wall section (flange section) is suitably oriented toward the functional element along the conductor insertion direction and / or disposed on the back side of the busbar. The wall or flange section is preferably formed or shaped by the busbar, particularly by a forming process, such as a 90° forming process. Particularly advantageously, the through or through-hole of the busbar is designed as a flange (German: Durchzug), particularly by flange stretching or by a stretch-compression forming process, wherein the flange forms or has a wall section.

[0014] The functional element suitably has a locking section and an abutment section for forming a releasable locking connection with the clamping leg or clamping spring. This can advantageously be formed by an abutment edge between the parallel support legs of the functional element. The functional element abuts against the side of the wall or flange section opposite to the through-hole (outer or abutment side) via the abutment section or abutment edge. Alternatively, the clamping spring or its abutment leg abuts against the side of the wall or flange section facing the through-hole (inner side). The abutment leg preferably suitably supports itself on the wall or flange section on this side (inner side).

[0015] According to an advantageous design of a conductor clamp with a busbar, clamping spring, and pivoting element, the insulating housing is provided with a conductor connection channel for the conductor, which can be accessed via an insertion port. The busbar suitably has this through-hole or through-port, through which the conductor passes during the connection process. The clamping spring or its clamping legs have clamping edges on the leg side or free end side. This forms the clamping position or the clamping position for the conductor with the busbar, particularly with the wall or flange section on the busbar side. A pivoting element, specially designed or acting as a pivot rod or rocker arm, is specified or provided for moving or pivoting the clamping legs of the clamping spring when the open clamping position is established.

[0016] Additionally or alternatively, a locking element is provided that cooperates with the clamping spring or its clamping leg to establish a locking connection that can be released by a triggering element when the clamped position is open. Additionally or alternatively, the bag-shaped, cap-shaped, or cover-shaped housing portion or housing element is provided with multiple wall elements. The housing portion or housing element is suitably arranged (positioned) after the busbar or its through-hole along the conductor insertion direction. The housing portion or housing element is suitably accommodated in or can be inserted into the insulating material housing.

[0017] Additionally or alternatively, functional elements are used, particularly pivotally or rotatably, to support pivoting or actuating elements and / or to establish and / or release locking connections and / or to facilitate force transmission on the busbar or its wall or flange sections, especially in the area of ​​the through-hole. The functional elements preferably have corresponding functional sections for supporting pivoting elements, establishing locking connections, releasing locking connections, and facilitating force transmission on the busbar or its wall or flange sections and / or on the wall profile of wall elements or housing elements.

[0018] In an advantageous design, the housing element is held on the busbar and / or on the wall or flange section of the busbar, or on the flanged flange. In particular, the housing element can be mounted or pre-mounted on the busbar. Suitably, the housing element at least partially or regionally surrounds the flanged flange of the busbar. This achieves particularly advantageous pre-mounted housing elements, especially components and / or elements already housed therein, along with conductor clamps and preferably functional elements.

[0019] Suitably, the housing element, preferably together with the functional element inserted therein and / or together with the busbar and / or with the clamping spring, is inserted into or can be inserted into the insulating housing. Bag-shaped, cap-shaped, or cover-shaped housing elements form insertion and / or receiving spaces. Preferably, the pivoting element is coupled to an actuating element, particularly designed and / or functioning as a presser. In particular, the actuating element or presser is displaceably guided within a guide channel of the insulating housing.

[0020] The housing element preferably forms each wall element, particularly two parallel wall elements, for supporting the pivot element at opposing support positions or support sections. A particularly suitable design specifies that at least one wall element and / or housing element has a support section or support profile that corresponds to or cooperates with the support section or support profile of the pivot element.

[0021] Suitable modifications or designs specify that the busbar has at least one support profile, and the pivoting element has a corresponding support profile that corresponds to the support profile of the busbar, particularly in the case of forming a rotational or pivoting support. Suitably, the busbar, particularly in the conductor insertion direction, has at least one support profile on the back side of the busbar, preferably in the region of the through-hole, and the pivoting element has a support element engaged in the support profile of the busbar. The busbar may also have a support element engaged in the corresponding support profile of the pivoting element. The support element may be designed as a (stationary) shaft or form such a shaft around which the corresponding support profile guides.

[0022] According to the improvement or design, the functional element has a support sleeve or support ring forming a functional or support section, which has a particularly arcuate support profile, and the pivoting element has at least one support pin or support piece having a corresponding support profile. This cooperates with the support profile of the functional or support section, which is preferably formed on or by the locking section of the functional element.

[0023] Particularly advantageously, the functional element has at least one support leg extending or arranged on the side of the busbar's through-hole, and the pivoting element has at least one corresponding support profile. This interacts with the support leg or the support profile of the support leg, preferably forming a mating support portion for the pivoting element. Suitably, such support legs are respectively provided on both sides of the through-hole, extending in the longitudinal direction of the busbar along a portion of the length of the through-hole or flange. This achieves a particularly narrow conductor clamp configuration. The support portion or mating support portion for the pivoting element (rocker arm) formed by the support legs arranged on the side of the busbar's through-hole is particularly advantageously located directly below the contact position or contact area of ​​the pivoting element (rocker arm) on the clamping leg of the clamping spring on the back side of the busbar in the conductor insertion direction.

[0024] Suitably, the functional element has a locking section with a locking profile. The locking section is connected to the trigger section or trigger section via a particularly knee-shaped bend, the trigger section particularly engaging with a conductor or being manipulated or pressure-applied by the conductor. Particularly suitable is the provision of a recess, particularly a hole-shaped recess, in the bend. This advantageously achieves a particularly small bending radius between the locking section and the trigger section.

[0025] Alternatively or additionally, the functional element has a corner section, particularly arranged along the direction of the busbar. Alternatively or additionally, the functional element has a retaining section that engages with the retaining profile of the wall element or housing element.

[0026] Additionally or alternatively, the functional element has the locking section or locking section, particularly the locking section angled relative to the trigger section, the locking section having the locking profile or locking profile, the functional element having an angular section connected thereto, particularly arranged along the direction of the busbar, and the retaining section or retaining section connected thereto, the retaining section cooperating with the retaining profile of the wall element or housing element.

[0027] Suitably, the corner section of the functional element abuts against the wall or flange section of the busbar opposite the clamping position outside the busbar's through-hole. Additionally or alternatively, the functional element section is held, preferably clamped, between the busbar and the housing contour of the wall or housing element. Thus, the functional element is particularly suitably and advantageously supported on the busbar or its wall or flange section. This further enables the introduction, particularly the triggering force for releasing the locking connection or locking connection, into the assembly of components consisting of the busbar and the wall or housing element, or via this assembly of components, through a force chain formed particularly by the functional element, the busbar, and / or the wall or housing element, into the insulating housing or insulating material housing.

[0028] A connecting section is suitably provided that extends at an angle, particularly at a right angle, to the abutment section of the functional element. This connecting section is disposed within or can be inserted into the insertion profile of the wall element or housing element. This design of the functional element is particularly useful for forming and / or improving force chains.

[0029] A recess is suitably provided in the functional element, particularly in the holding section and / or in the corner section. This advantageously reduces the triggering force acting via the triggering section, particularly through the conductor to the functional element.

[0030] Additionally or alternatively, the functional element, particularly its retaining section, has a recess aligned with an opening in the busbar, and the clamping spring, particularly its abutment leg, has a preferred pin, sheet, or flat strip-shaped insertion element that engages with the recess of the functional element via the opening in the busbar. Preferably, the retaining section of the functional element is designed as a functional section or a support section, or is formed as a support sleeve or support ring for a pivoting element, particularly for supporting at least one corresponding support element or pivoting element support pin.

[0031] Additionally or alternatively, the functional element, particularly the retaining section, has a contact section that abuts against the back of the busbar, parallel to the busbar and particularly along the conductor insertion direction. Additionally or alternatively, the functional element, particularly the retaining section, has a contact section parallel to the busbar and an insertion section extending at an angle to it, particularly at an acute angle. The insertion section is disposed in or can be inserted into the insertion profile or groove of the wall element or housing element. The insertion profile is suitably formed between the housing element and the busbar and / or the housing profile of the insulating material housing, into which the wall element or housing element is inserted.

[0032] A particularly suitable design or improvement specifies the locking connection between the clamping legs of the clamping spring and the functional element, wherein the functional element has a notch or waist when forming at least one abutment edge or locking edge. The clamping legs of the clamping spring have at least one locking tab that engages with the corresponding abutment edge from behind to form the locking connection. Additionally or alternatively, the clamping legs of the clamping spring have a curved section oriented in the direction of the clamping position, the curved section having a clamping edge on the free end side that forms a clamping position with the busbar and / or the conductor in clamping contact.

[0033] Preferably, the clamping leg of the clamping spring has at least one locking element, particularly a sheet-like or flat strip-like locking element. This locking element is preferably configured to establish a locking connection with the functional element and / or with its locking edge or abutment edge. The locking element extends at an angle to the curved section or a curved section oriented in the direction of the clamping position, the curved section having a clamping edge at the free end of the clamping leg of the clamping spring.

[0060] Corresponding components are given the same reference numerals in the accompanying drawings.

[0061] Figures 1 to 5 Different views of conductor clamp 1 are shown, which is housed in a housing made of a non-conductive material, particularly plastic, hereinafter referred to as insulating housing 2. Conductor clamp 1 is specified and configured for connecting electrical conductors 3.

[0062] The terminal clamp 1 has a busbar 4 and a clamping spring 5, which together with the busbar 4 form a clamping position 6 for the conductor 3. The conductor 3 is guided to or into the clamping position 6 via the insertion port 7 and conductor connection channel 8 of the (insulating material) housing 2 in the conductor insertion direction L. The clamping spring 5 has a clamping leg 5a and a contact leg 5b, which is connected to the clamping leg 5a via a spring arch 5c. The clamping spring 5 is positioned or fixed in the housing 2 by engaging the housing dome 9 in the spring arch 5c.

[0063] Busbar 4 has a through-hole 10 for conductor 3. The through-hole 10 is designed as a flanged protrusion. Wall element 11 is arranged after the through-hole 10 along the conductor insertion direction L. Wall element 11 preferably covers or is located within the housing recess 12 of the insulating material housing 2. Wall element 11 is preferably... Figure 9 The cap-shaped or cover-shaped housing portion or component of housing element 13 shown. It is inserted into the housing recess 12 of the insulating material housing 2. Suitably, the outer contour of housing element 12 is adapted to the inner contour of recess 12, in particular so that housing element 13 is placed in recess 12 as close to any gap as possible.

[0064] The pivot element 14, also referred to below as a rocker arm, is supported on the busbar 4 and within the wall element 11 and is mechanically coupled to the clamping leg 5a of the clamping spring 5. The pivot element 14 cooperates with an actuating element 15 designed as a pressing element, which is slidably guided within a guide channel 16 of the insulating housing 2. The pivot element 14 is used to open the clamping leg 5a at the clamping position 6. Figure 2 In the open clamping shown, the clamping position 6 is formed between the clamping edge 16 of the clamping leg 5a and the wall or flange section 17 of the busbar 4.

[0065] See Figure 8 The rocker arm 14 has a lever section 14a serving as a pivot element, which is coupled to or can be coupled to the pressing member 15. The rocker arm 14 has a resting leg 14b that rests against the clamping leg 5a of the clamping spring 5. The rocker arm 14 has a support leg 14c that engages with the support profile 18 of the wall element 11 on one hand, and with the support profile 19 of the busbar 4 on the other, preferably when a support portion and / or a mating support portion for the rocker arm 14 are formed. The support leg 14c has a disc-shaped support profile 20, which is disposed in a corresponding, particularly shell-shaped, support section of the support profile 18 serving as the wall element 11. The support leg 14c has a particularly mushroom-shaped support section 21, which is disposed in a corresponding, particularly arched, grooved, or shell-shaped support section of the support profile 19 serving as the busbar 4.

[0066] The conductor clamp 1 has a functional element 23. It is arranged along the conductor insertion direction L after the through or through port 10 of the busbar 4, or on the back side of the busbar 4 relative to the insertion port 7. The functional element 23 is designed as a flexible spring element, for example made of spring steel, preferably in the form of a flat strip.

[0067] See also Figure 6 The functional element 23 has a locking section 23a for establishing a releasable locking connection 22 with the clamping leg 5a of the clamping spring 5, particularly as Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown. Functional element 23 has a trigger section 23b for releasing the locking connection 22. The trigger section 23b can be actuated by conductor 3 under pressure to release the locking connection 22. The trigger section 23b is connected to a bent position or bent section 23c, which is connected to the locking section 23b. The bent position or bent section 23c has a recess or an opening 24 designed as a hole. Figure 6 This is to allow for the creation of a particularly suitable or small bending radius.

[0068] Functional element 23 has a corner section or abutment section 23d disposed along the direction of busbar 4, particularly as part of retaining section 23e. Busbar 4 has a wall or flange section 25 formed particularly by a flange or flanged portion, serving as abutment portion or abutment profile for the corner section 23d or retaining section 23e of functional element 23. The wall or flange section 25 is oriented toward functional element 23 along conductor insertion direction L. The wall or flange section 25 is disposed on the back side of busbar 4 opposite to insertion port 7. The wall or flange section 25 is formed by (90°) shaping of busbar 4.

[0069] The functional element 23 rests against the side (outer side or abutting side) of the wall or flange section 25 away from the through or through opening 10 via the corner section or abutting section 23d. Preferably, the functional element 23 is supported on the wall or flange section 25 of the busbar 4 on this side (outer side) via the corner section or abutting section 23d, particularly in a force chain manner or as part of a force chain.

[0070] Functional element 23 has a retaining section 23e that engages with the retaining or supporting profile 26 of the wall element 11 or housing element 13, and preferably also with the busbar 4. The functional element, particularly its retaining section 23e, has an abutting section 23f oriented parallel to the busbar 4 and abutting against the busbar 4 on the back side in the conductor insertion direction L or relative to the insertion port 7, particularly outside or near the through or through port 10. In conjunction with the wall-side or housing-side retaining or supporting profile 26, the retaining section 23e of the functional element 23 is reliably retained. In particular, the retaining section 23e of the functional element 23 is clamped between the busbar 4 and the wall element 11 or housing element 13.

[0071] Figure 6 A spring element 23 is shown, having functional sections, namely an actuating section 23b, a locking section 23a connected thereto via a bent section 23c, and an abutting section 23f connected thereto by a corner section 23d and a retaining section 23e. The corner section 23d, also referred to below as the connecting section, forms the transition between the locking section 23a and the abutting section 23f. Connected to the abutting section 23f is a bent, particularly acute-angled, insertion section 23g. Its section 26a surrounds the retaining or supporting profile 26 of the housing element 13. Figure 9 ).

[0072] In this design of functional element 23, the retaining section 23e is approximately U-shaped. Recesses 27, 28, and 29 in the bending positions between adjacent or adjacent sections 23a, 23d and 23d, 23f, and 23f, 23g achieve the desired small bending radius. This also reduces the triggering force exerted on functional element 23 via conductor 3 through triggering section 23b.

[0073] from Figure 7 It can also be seen that in the region of the locking section 23a, the two abutting or locking edges 30 are formed as locking profiles or locking elements by forming a notch in the waist portion of the locking section 23a in the embodiment. When the locking connection 22 is formed, the locking piece 31, which is the locking profile or locking element on the clamping leg 5a of the clamping spring 5, corresponds to the corresponding abutting or locking edge 30 in such a way that the corresponding locking piece 31 engages with the corresponding locking edge 30 from behind.

[0074] from Figure 7 As can be seen relatively clearly, the clamping leg 5a of the clamping spring 5 has a curved section 32 oriented in the direction of the clamping position 6, which forms a clamping edge 16 at the free end. The corresponding locking piece 31 extends at an acute angle to the curved section 32, and is approximately right-angled or perpendicular to the locking section 23a of the functional element 23 in the locking connection.

[0075] Figure 9 A bag-shaped or cap-shaped housing element 13 is shown. This forms two parallel wall elements 11 for supporting the pivot element 14 at opposite support positions on each wall element 11, in the form of an arched or shell-shaped support profile 18. Insertion and / or receiving space for the functional element 23 is formed between the wall elements 11. Holding or supporting profile 26 is formed on the sidewall 33 connecting the wall elements 11.

[0076] In the assembled state, the housing element 13, particularly the area of ​​the housing opening, at least partially surrounds the flange or wall or flange section 17, 25 of the busbar 4. Thus, the housing element 13, together with the functional element 23 disposed therein and other components of the conductor clamp 1, particularly the busbar 4, the clamping spring 5 and / or the rocker arm 14, can be provided as a pre-assembled component assembly or inserted into the insulating housing 2.

[0077] According to Figures 10 to 18 In this design, the conductor clamp 1', housed within or comprising an insulating material housing 2', has a busbar 4' and a clamping spring 5'. The clamping spring 5' and the busbar 4' form a clamping position 6' for the electrical conductor 3'. The clamping spring 5' has a clamping leg 5a' and a contact leg 5b', with the contact leg 5b' connected to the clamping leg 5a' via a spring arch 5c'. In this design, the conductor clamp 1' is relatively narrow, for example, only about 3.5 mm, or in other words, the design has a correspondingly small structural size or small specification.

[0078] Busbar 4' has a through or through-hole 10' designed as a flange. A wall element 11' preferably arranged after the through or through-hole 10' along the conductor insertion direction L is... Figure 18 The housing component or housing element 13' shown is a component of the housing component or housing element that is inserted into or can be inserted into the (insulating material) housing 2'.

[0079] The pivoting element or rocker arm 14' is supported on the busbar 4' and in the wall element 11', and is mechanically coupled to the clamping leg 5a' of the clamping spring 5' to open the clamping leg 5a' in the clamping position 6', and cooperates with the sliding / movable guide press 15'. Figure 11 In the open clamping configuration shown, the clamping position 6' is formed between the clamping edge 16' of the clamping leg 5a' and the wall or flange section 17' of the manifold 4'.

[0080] Figure 16A rocker arm 14' as a pivot element is shown, having a lever section 14a' coupled or coupled to a presser 15', a support leg 14b' abutting against a clamping leg 5a', and a support leg 14c'. It engages with the support profile 18' of the wall element 11' on one hand, and with the support profile 34 of the functional element 23' on the other, preferably when a support portion and / or a mating support portion are formed for the rocker arm 14'. The support leg 14c' has a disc-shaped support profile 20' disposed in the corresponding, particularly shell-shaped, support section of the support profile 18' of the wall element 11'. The support leg 14c' has a particularly mushroom-shaped or mushroom-head-shaped support section 21' disposed (installed) in the corresponding support profile 34 of the functional element 23' of the busbar 4.

[0081] exist Figure 15 The diagram shows the functional element 23' of the conductor clamp 1'. The functional element 23' has a locking section 23a' for establishing a releasable locking connection 22' with the clamping leg 5a of the clamping spring 5', similar to that shown in the diagram. Figure 7 The design includes a functional element 23' having a trigger section 23b' that can be manipulated by conductor 3' under pressure to release the locking connection 22'. The trigger section 23b' is connected to the locking section 23b' via a bent position 23c'.

[0082] Functional element 23' has a support or functional section 23h for supporting pivot element 14'. The support or functional section 23h is formed by multiple bending to form a support sleeve or support ring 35. On the support or functional section 23h, in the curved region between the corner section or connecting section 23d' and the abutment section 23f' for abutting against the busbar 4', the support profile 34 for the pivot element 14' designed as a rocker arm 14' is designed. The support or functional section 23h has an opening 35 in the portion opposite to the abutment section 23f'.

[0083] When the functional element 23' is inserted into the housing element 13', the engaging pin 36 of the housing element 13' passes through the opening 35 of the support or functional section 23h of the functional element 23'. The support or functional section 23h specifically forms a retaining section 23e' of the functional element 23' or has the function of such a retaining section 23e', particularly similar to that according to... Figure 6 The design.

[0084] Functional element 23' has an insertion or through-hole 37 that aligns with the through-hole 38 of busbar 4'. The engagement pin 36 of housing element 13' has a recess or groove 39 that aligns with the openings 37 and 38. The abutment leg 5b' of clamping spring 5' has an insertion or engagement end on its free end side, serving as an insertion element 40, which engages with the recess 39 of housing element 13' via the opening 37 of functional element 23' and the opening 28 of busbar 4'. Therefore, the abutment leg 5b' of clamping spring 5' is arranged outside the through-hole 10' and positioned or supported on busbar 4', functional element 23', and housing element 13'.

[0085] According to Figures 19 to 25 In this design, the conductor clamp 1''s (insulating material) housing 2'' has a busbar 4'' and a clamping spring 5'', the clamping spring having a contact leg 5b'', a spring arch 5c'', and a clamping leg 5a'', the clamping edge 16'' of the clamping leg forming a clamping position 6'' for the electrical conductor 3''. In this design, the conductor clamp 1'' is designed to be particularly narrow or have a small structural size or specification.

[0086] Figure 23 The busbar 4'' shown separately also has a through or through-hole 10'' designed as a flanged portion. In the area of ​​the through or through-hole 10'', particularly where it defines its boundary on the narrow side, the busbar 4'' has a wall or flange section 17'' as a clamping position 6'' for clamping the spring 5'', and oppositely has a wall or flange section 25''. In the area of ​​the wall or flange section 25'', the busbar 4'' has an insertion or through-hole 38', preferably between opposing recesses 41 for the rocker arm 14'' or its support leg 14c''.

[0087] The wall element 11'', preferably arranged along the conductor insertion direction L after the through or through opening 10'', is preferably located in... Figure 25 The housing element 13'' shown is a component of a cover-like or cap-like housing part or housing element 13'' that is inserted into or can be inserted into a (insulating material) housing 2''. The housing element 13'' also has a connecting pin 36' with a recess or groove 39'.

[0088] exist Figure 24 The rocker arm, which acts as a pivot element 14'' to open the clamping leg 5a'' in the clamping position 6'' or on the wall or flange section 17', is mechanically coupled to the clamping leg 5a'' of the clamping spring 5''. The rocker arm 14'' also has a lever section 14a'' coupled to the presser 15'', an abutting leg 14b'' against the clamping leg 5a'', and a support leg 14c'', preferably two parallel support legs 14c''.

[0089] When forming a support portion or mating support portion for the rocker arm 14'', each or every support leg 14c'' engages with the support profile 18'' of the wall element 11'' on one hand, and with the support profile 34'' of the functional element 23'' on the other. The support leg 14c'' has a disc-shaped support profile 20'', which is disposed within the preferably shell-shaped support profile 18'' of the wall element 11''. The support leg 14c'' has a particularly mushroom-shaped or mushroom-head-shaped support segment 21'', which is disposed within the corresponding support profile 34'' of the functional element 23''.

[0090] exist Figure 21 and Figure 22 The diagram shows functional element 23'' and clamping spring 5'' that locks with functional element 23''. Similar to... Figure 17 The design incorporates a locking section 23a'' for establishing a releasable locking connection 22'' with the clamping leg 5a'' of the clamping spring 5''. The functional element 23'' has an abutment section 23f'' for abutting against the busbar 4'' and a trigger section 23b'' for releasing the locking connection 22'', operable under pressure via the conductor 3''. The trigger section 23b'' is connected to the locking section 23a'' via a bent position 23c'', preferably corresponding to... Figure 6 and / or Figure 15 The bending position.

[0091] Functional element 23'' has a support or functional section 23h' for supporting the pivot element or rocker arm 14''. The support or functional section 23h' is formed on or by at least one support leg 42, preferably two parallel support legs 42. The corresponding support legs 42 extend beside the through-hole 10''. In particular, the parallel support legs 42 extend on both sides of the through-hole 10''. Abutment edges 43 are formed between the support legs 42, or extend laterally to the corresponding support legs 42. Thus, the abutment section 23f'' of functional element 23'' abuts against the wall or flange section 25'' on the outside. In other words, functional element 23'' is supported on busbar 4'' by the abutment edges 43.

[0092] When the clamping leg 5a'' is not engaged or is in its clamped position on the wall or flange section 17'', the corresponding support leg 42 extends along the direction of the narrow side of the wall or flange section 17'' or along the direction of the clamping edge 16'' or the clamping position 6''. In other words, the corresponding support leg 42 extends along the longitudinal direction of the busbar 4'', or extends parallel to the distance or imaginary distance line between the wall or flange sections 25'' and 17''. The corresponding support leg 42, which is suitably bent at the free end, forms the support profile 34' of the functional element 23'', serving as a mating support for the rocker arm 14'' in the support profile 18'' on the wall side.

[0093] from Figure 24 It can also be seen that, in the case of the through opening 10'' designed as a rolled edge, the support leg 42 of the functional element 23'' extends on both sides of the corresponding longitudinal wall 44 of the rolled edge. The corresponding support portion of the support section 21'' of the rocker arm 14'' is advantageously located directly below the contact portion of the rocker arm 14'''s contact leg 14b'' on the clamping leg 5a'' of the clamping spring 5'' on the back side of the busbar 4''.

[0094] The conductor clamp 1'' is constructed to be particularly narrow by means of a support leg 42 that extends to the side of the through-hole 10'' or the rolled edge and extends along a portion or segment of the length of the through-hole 10'' or the rolled edge in the longitudinal direction of the busbar 4''. Therefore, the conductor clamp 1'' has a particularly small dimension, especially in the longitudinal direction of the busbar 4''.

[0095] The supporting or functional section 23h' of the functional element 23'' has an opening 35' on the section opposite to the abutment section 23f''. When the functional element 23'' is inserted into the housing element 13'', the engagement pin 36' of the housing element 13'' passes through the opening 35' of the functional element 23''. The abutment leg 5b'' of the clamping spring 5'' has a plug-in or engagement end 40'', which is located on the clamping spring 5''. Figure 20 and Figure 22 In the assembly state shown, it is arranged together with the functional element 23'' in the through-hole 38' of the busbar 4''.

[0096] Functional element 23'' has an insertion or through-hole 37' in the abutment section 23f'', which aligns with the through-hole 38' of busbar 4''. The engagement pin 36' of housing element 13'' has a recess or groove 39', which aligns with the openings 37', 38'. The abutment leg 5b'' of clamping spring 5'' is located in the recess 39' of housing element 13' in the assembled state via the insertion or engagement end 40' through the aligned openings 37', 38'. Therefore, the abutment leg 5b'' of clamping spring 5'' is also arranged outside the through-hole 10'' and supported on busbar 4'', functional element 23'', and housing element 13''. The support position or mating support between rocker arm 14'' and functional element 23'' is located outside the through-hole 10'' between its narrow sidewalls or flange sections 17'' and 25''.
