Connection Device For Connecting A Conductor End

Abstract

A connection device for connecting a conductor end includes a housing with a rear wall and a front wall, a busbar arranged in the housing and a V-shaped clamping spring arranged in the housing. The clamping spring has a supporting leg supported on an abutment, a clamping leg and a spring rear connecting the two legs. A conductor insertion channel is configured in the housing, by which a conductor end to be connected can be guided into a contacting space between the front wall and the rear wall. The housing further has a receiving chamber open toward the front wall of the housing for inserting and receiving the clamping spring. A housing attachment overlapped by the clamping spring is configured in the receiving chamber and the clamping spring is at least positively secured toward the front wall against falling out of the receiving chamber by a clamping spring retaining mechanism integrated into the housing, including in a state in which the clamping leg has been moved into an open position.
