conductor connection terminal and electrical connector

Abstract

The invention relates to a conductor terminal block with a housing and several spring-loaded clamping terminals, each of which has at least one clamping spring with a clamping arm pivotable about a pivot axis for clamping an electrical conductor at a clamping point by means of spring force. The spring-loaded clamping terminals are arranged along an annular path around a center point in the housing of the conductor terminal block. The conductor terminal block has a rotary actuating element rotatably mounted about a pivot axis as a manual actuating element, which is configured to pivot several or all clamping arms into an open position when rotated about the pivot axis. By pivoting the clamping arm into the open position, an electrical conductor can be guided to the clamping point without force and, after the clamping arm is moved into a clamping position, clamped there by the clamping arm.The invention also relates to an electrical connector with such a conductor terminal.
