conductor connection terminal

Abstract

A conductor terminal (1) with an insulating housing (2) and at least one spring-loaded clamping connection arranged in the insulating housing (2) for clamping an electrical conductor (9) by means of spring force, wherein the spring-loaded clamping connection has at least one busbar (3) and at least one clamping spring (4) which has a clamping leg (43) for clamping the electrical conductor (9) to at least one contact section (31) of the busbar (3), wherein the insulating housing (2) has at least one conductor entry opening (20) through which an electrical conductor can be guided in a conductor entry direction (L) to a clamping point formed by the clamping leg (43) and the contact section (31) of the busbar (3), wherein the spring-loaded clamping connection has a retaining element (5) for holding the clamping leg (43) in the open position, wherein the spring-loaded clamping connection has a release element (8) with a release section (80),characterized in that, when the release section (80) is subjected to a release force, the clamping leg (43) held in the open position by the retaining element (5) can be released from the open position, in that the release section (80) is configured to be subjected to the release force by the electrical conductor (9) in an actuation direction (B) which runs transversely to the conductor insertion direction (L).
