Abstract
A conductor connection terminal with an insulation material housing having at least one conductor insertion opening for receiving an electrical conductor in a conductor insertion direction is described. At least one spring-loaded clamping connection for connecting an electrical conductor via elastic force is situated in the insulation material housing. The spring-loaded clamping connection has at least one busbar and a clamping spring with a clamping leg having a clamping edge for clamping the electrical conductor to a clamping point on a contact section of the busbar. The spring-loaded clamping connection, as a further component that is separate from the clamping spring and the busbar, has a connecting body via which the clamping spring is fixed to the busbar.

A conductor connection terminal comprising:
- an insulation material housing having at least one conductor insertion opening to receive an electrical conductor in a conductor insertion direction;
- at least one spring-loaded clamping connection to connect an electrical conductor via elastic force is arranged in the insulation material housing, the spring-loaded clamping connection having at least one busbar and a clamping spring with a clamping leg having a clamping edge to clamp the electrical conductor to a clamping point on a contact section of the busbar, the spring-loaded clamping connection, being a further component that is separate from the clamping spring and the busbar, having a connecting body via which the clamping spring is fixed to the busbar;
- and
- at least one retaining element that is configured to hold the clamping leg in an open position, the retaining element being formed in one piece with the connecting body or in one piece with the clamping spring or with the contact leg of the clamping spring.
