Terminal component

Abstract

Terminal components (1) having an insulating housing (2) and having at least one spring terminal (4) for terminating an electrical conductor (15) are described, wherein the spring terminal (4) has a busbar part (5) and a clamping spring (6) extending in the longitudinal extension direction (L) having a free clamping end (11) in the direction of the busbar part (5) and forming a clamping point for the electrical conductor (15) and pressing against the busbar part (5), and wherein at least one conductor insertion opening (3) leading to an associated clamping point is in the insulating housing (2) and one actuating channel (14) is arranged adjacent to each conductor insertion opening (3) for introducing an actuating tool (13) and opening the associated clamping spring (6) by means of the actuating tool (13). The actuating channel merges into an actuating section (12) of the clamping spring (6) adjacent to the clamping point for the electrical conductor (15) perpendicular to the longitudinal extension direction (L), so that the clamping point and the actuating section (12) lie adjacent to one another on the width of the clamping spring (6), and that the planes defined by the main axes of the conductor insertion opening (3) and of the actuating channel (14) and cutting the width of the clamping spring (6) perpendicular to the longitudinal extension direction of the clamping spring (6) in the area of the clamping point are approximately parallel to one another.
