Cable connection device and actuator for a cable connection device

Abstract

A cable connection device with a contact carrier is provided and includes at least one bus bar, a contact arm for fixing an electrical conductor between the bus bar and the contact arm, and an actuator cooperating with the contact arm. The actuator is mounted such that it can move in a guide channel in an actuation direction between a released position and an actuated position, and wherein the actuator is divided into two, into a main body and a blocking body in such a way that, in the actuated position of the actuator, the blocking body can be moved relative to the main body in a blocking direction, that is different from the actuation direction, into a recess in an inner wall of the guide channel, in order to form a rear grip to block the actuator in the actuated position.
