Connector terminal

Abstract

The invention relates to a connecting terminal having a housing (14) in which a lift cage (22) is arranged, with the housing (14) and the lift cage (22) each having a first opening (20,21) which can be aligned such that it is flush, for inserting a cable end (24) into the lift cage (22), in which the housing (14) and the lift cage (22) each have a second opening (36,37), which can be aligned such that it is flush, for inserting at least one part (30a,30b) of a circuit board (10) into the lift cage (22). It also relates to a system for producing a conductive connection between at least one part (30a,30b) of a circuit board and a connecting terminal according to the invention, in which case the system furthermore comprises a U-shaped crushing protection device (38) which can be pushed over that part (30a,30b) of the circuit board (10) which can be inserted into the connecting terminal in order to produce a conductive connection to the cable end (24). The invention furthermore relates to a circuit board for use with a connecting terminal according to the invention or for use in the system according to the invention, in which case the circuit board (10) has at least one projection (30a,30b) which is in the form of a finger and can be inserted into the connecting terminal in order to produce a conductive connection to a cable end (24).
