Protective-earthing contact and conductor-connection terminal

A conductor connection terminal comprising:

• a housing;
• a busbar;
• a spring force terminal connection;
• a clamping point formed by the busbar and the spring force terminal connection for an electrical conductor to be clamped;
• and
• a protective earthing contact for an electrically conductive connection of a protective earth line to the busbar,
• wherein the protective earthing contact has a base portion,
• wherein two side elements project from the base portion, each of the two side elements having an upper region,
• wherein the upper regions together form a latching region for clamping the protective earthing contact onto the busbar,
• wherein at least one of the two side elements has a protective earth contact element for making contact with the busbar in an electrically conducting manner,
• wherein each upper region of the two side elements has a contact-making region,
• wherein the latching region and the protective earth contact element are substantially arranged at the same height in relation to the base portion, and
• wherein at least one of the two side elements has a guide contour for guiding the electrical conductor into the housing.
