conductor connection terminal

Abstract

A conductor terminal (1) with an insulating housing (2) having at least one conductor entry opening (20) for receiving an electrical conductor (9) in a conductor entry direction (L), wherein at least one spring-loaded clamping connection for connecting the electrical conductor (9) by means of spring force is arranged in the insulating housing (2), wherein the spring-loaded clamping connection has at least one busbar (3) and a clamping spring (4) having a clamping leg (43) with a clamping edge (46) for clamping the electrical conductor (9) to a contact section (30) of the busbar (3), wherein the conductor terminal (1) has a holding mechanism for holding the clamping leg (43) in an open position and a release mechanism (8) with a release section (80) by actuation of which the clamping leg (43) held in the open position by the holding mechanism can be released and moved into a clamping position.in which an inserted electrical conductor (9) is clamped to the contact section (30) by means of the clamping leg (43), characterized in that the holding mechanism has at least one first locking finger (44) projecting from the clamping leg (43) and at least one second locking finger (40) projecting from the contact leg (41), wherein the first locking finger (44) can be locked to the second locking finger (40) in the open position.
