Abstract
A conductor connection terminal for connecting an electrical conductor by means of an insulation displacement connection, wherein the conductor connection terminal has at least one insulation displacement connection, a pressure piece that can be pressurized by means of a manually generated actuating force, a stamp acting on the electrical conductor and a compression spring arranged between the pressure piece and the stamp, wherein the insulation displacement connection has an insulation displacement contact with two contact edges arranged next to each other, wherein between opposite sides of the contact edges a cutting slot is formed, wherein the force of the compression spring is effective in the longitudinal direction of the cutting slot.
Claims11
A conductor connection terminal to connect an electrical conductor via an insulation displacement connection, the conductor connection terminal comprising:
- a housing:
- at least one insulation displacement connection;
- a pressure piece adapted to be pressed via an actuating force;
- a stamp acting on the electrical conductor;
- and
- a force accumulator that is coupled between the pressure piece and the stamp,
- wherein the at least one insulation displacement connection has two contact edges arranged next to each other so as to oppose each other, the two contact edges being provided to cut an insulation of the electrical conductor, such that a spacing between the two contact edges forms a cutting slot,
- wherein the electrical conductor is positioned between the two contact edges so as to be in contact with the two contact edges, such that the electrical conductor is positioned inside the cutting slot,
- wherein a force of the force accumulator is directed towards the cutting slot, and
- wherein the insulation displacement connection is mounted in a fixed position inside the housing and the stamp is displaceably mounted inside the housing.
