Connection device for a shield conductor of an electrical line

A connection device for a shield conductor of an electrical line, comprising:

• a housing attachable to a potential collector, into which housing the electrical line with the shield conductor is insertable;
• a spring element which is arranged adjustably on the housing, which spring element has a clamping leg and is movable relative to the housing from an open position into a clamping position in order to, in the clamping position, act with the clamping leg on the shield conductor of the electrical line inserted in the housing;
• and
• a locking element which is adjustable, relative to the housing, between a locking position, in which the housing attached to the potential collector is locked with the potential collector, and an unlocking position for releasing the housing from the potential collector,
• wherein the clamping leg is configured so as to push the locking element into the unlocking position when the spring element is moved from the clamping position into the open position.
