Conductor connection terminal

A conductor connection terminal with at least one spring-loaded clamping connection for connecting an electrical conductor, the conductor connection terminal comprising:

• at least one housing with a conductor insertion opening for inserting the electrical conductor to be connected;
• a busbar;
• a clamping spring with a clamping arm for clamping the electrical conductor to the busbar in a contact area on the busbar;
• and
• a pivotable actuation element for actuating the clamping spring,
• wherein the actuation element has at least one actuation handle for a manual actuation and at least one bearing plate that is connected to the actuation handle and via which the actuation element is rotatably mounted on at least one component of the conductor connection terminal,
• wherein the actuation handle is accessible from an exterior on an actuation side of the at least one housing,
• wherein the at least one bearing plate has a circular area and the contact area of the busbar, viewed transversely to a conductor insertion direction, is located within the circular area of the at least one bearing plate,
• wherein the clamping spring has the clamping arm, a spring bend, and a contact arm, and wherein the contact arm is connected to the clamping arm via the spring bend, and
• wherein the at least one bearing plate extends in a height direction of the conductor connection terminal at least from a position below a lowermost portion of the busbar to a position above an uppermost portion of the clamping spring or above the contact arm of the clamping spring.
