Actuation element, connecting assembly, connecting terminal, electronic device, and method for mounting a connecting terminal

A method for mounting a connection terminal, comprising:

• providing a first body element of an actuating element comprising a gripping surface for actuating the actuating element;
• providing a second body element of the actuating element comprising at least one actuating surface for actuating the clamping spring;
• and
• transferring the first body element and the second body element to a pre-latched position with each other prior to mounting the first body element and the second body element in a housing of the connection terminal,
• wherein the first body element comprises a first material, and the second body element comprises a second material different from the first material, and
• wherein the second material has a greater strength than the first material.

An actuating element for actuating a clamping spring of a connection assembly, the actuating element comprising:

• a first body element comprising a gripping surface for actuating the actuating element;
• and
• a second body element comprising at least one actuating surface for actuating the clamping spring,
• wherein the first body element is transferrable to a pre-latched position with the second body element before being mounted in the connection assembly, and
• wherein, to form the pre-latched position, the first body element has two, mutually-opposing openings into which two, mutually-opposing latching elements formed on the second body element are latchable.
