Contact element and conductor terminal for connecting an electrical conductor

A contact element for connecting an electrical conductor, the contact element comprising:

• a conductor insertion area in which there are two opposite first side walls, a first floor section connecting the first side walls and a first cover section opposite the first floor section,
• wherein the first side walls, the first floor section and the first cover section limit a conductor insertion channel, and
• wherein the first side walls each have at least one spring tongue freed from the first floor section and the first cover section, the spring tongues forming a clamping point for clamping the electrical conductor by a spring force,
• wherein the contact element has a tunnel-shaped conductor receiving section having a second cover section, the tunnel-shaped conductor receiving section being arranged at the end of the contact element opposite the conductor insertion area and/or is arranged behind the clamping point as viewed from the conductor insertion area in a conductor insertion direction,
• wherein the contact element has a conductor guide tab integrated on the tunnel-shaped conductor receiving section, and
• wherein the conductor guide tab protrudes from the second cover section diagonally to the conductor insertion direction in the direction of the conductor insertion area.
