Abstract
The invention relates to an electric conductor connection element with a contact part and a contact spring which has a base part that is supported against a counter bearing and a clamping part that can be elastically deflected, is angled relative to the base part, and together with the contact part forms a clamping opening for an electric conductor. The invention is characterized in that the base part of the contact spring is releasably held on the contact part in that the base part has two support zones which engage on the contact part from opposite sides in positions at different distances to the clamping part.
Claims17
An electric conductor connection element having a contact piece and a contact spring which has a base part supported on an abutment and an elastically deflectable clamping piece which is angled relative to the base part and which, together with the contact piece, forms a clamping opening for an electric conductor, wherein the base part of the contact spring is releasably held on the contact piece as the base part has two support zones which act on the contact piece from opposite sides at positions at different distances from the clamping piece, and wherein one of the support zones, and a latch formed by the base part and situated beyond the other support zone, lie on the same side of the contact piece and form a linear guide for the contact spring, wherein an anchor and the one of the two support zones delimit the movement play for the contact spring along this linear guide.
An electric conductor connection element having a contact piece and a contact spring which has a base part supported on an abutment and an elastically deflectable clamping piece which is angled relative to the base part and which, together with the contact piece, forms a clamping opening for an electric conductor, wherein the base part of the contact spring is releasably held on the contact piece as the base part has two support zones which act on the contact piece from opposite sides at positions at different distances from the clamping piece, and wherein a part of the base part is S-shaped and has a concave surface facing an anchor and forming one of the support zones.
