Abstract

A contacting device (100) for connecting an electrical conductor (11) comprises a connection contact (101) for fixing the electrical conductor (11) to the contacting device (100), wherein the connection contact (101) has a retainer (110). The retainer (110) has an accommodating region (112) for accommodating the electrical conductor (11). The accommodating region (112) tapers between an inlet opening (E112) and a base surface (B112) of the accommodating region (112) in such a way that a cross section (A11) of the electrical conductor (11) is deformed when the electrical conductor (11) is inserted into the accommodating region (112), whereby the electrical conductor is retained on the connection contact (101) in the clamping seat. The electrical conductor (11) can thus be fixed to the connection contact (101) without bending of the retainer (110).

Dependent claims

A contacting device (100) for connecting an electrical conductor (11), comprising:

a connection contact (101) for fixing the electrical conductor (11) to the contacting device (100),
wherein the connection contact (101) has a retainer (110),
wherein the retainer (110) is formed in such a way that the electrical conductor (11) can be connected to the contacting device (100) by being clamped in the retainer (110) and without bending of the retainer (110),
wherein the retainer (110) has an accommodating region (112) for accommodating the electrical conductor (11),
wherein the accommodating region (112) has an inlet opening (E112) and a base surface (B112) and the accommodating region (112) extends between the inlet opening (E112) and the base surface (B112),
wherein the accommodating region (112) tapers between the inlet opening and the base surface in such a way that a cross section (A11) of the electrical conductor (11) is deformed when the electrical conductor (11) is inserted into the accommodating region (112), whereby the electrical conductor is held on the connection contact (101) in a clamping seat.
