Electrical connection or junction device

An improved electrical connection or junction device having an insulation housing (1) and at least two tension springs (2, 12), wherein the insulation housing (1) is furnished with at least two conductor insertion apertures (3, 13) for insertion of at least two electrical conductors (4, 14) to be connected and at least two actuation apertures (5, 15) for insertion of an actuating tool to open the tension springs (2, 12), and wherein the tension springs (2, 12) have bottom sides (10, 20) and are each furnished with a clamping arm (6, 16) having a cutaway (7, 17) for insertion of the electrical conductor (4, 14) to be connected, a bearing arm (8, 18) that extends approximately perpendicularly to the clamping arm (6, 16), and a spine (9, 19) connecting the clamping arm (6, 16) and the bearing arm (8, 18), wherein the improvement comprises the two tension springs (2, 12) being arranged at an angle of approximately 180 degrees with respect to one another so as to allow the two bearing arms (8, 18) of the tension springs (2, 12) to be arranged with the bottom sides (10, 20) thereof facing one another, and so as to allow the clamping arms (6, 16) of the two tension springs (2, 12) to overlap each other, and so as to allow the cutaways (7, 17) in the clamping arms (6, 16) to at least partially cover each other when the tension springs (2, 12) are opened;

• wherein at least one busbar (22) is provided that is conductively connected to the tension springs (2, 12);
• wherein the busbar (22) is arranged between the two bearing arms (8, 18) of the tension springs (2, 12).

• wherein at least one busbar (22) is provided that is conductively connected to the tension springs (2, 12);
• wherein the busbar (22) is attached directly or indirectly via a connecting member to a side of at least one tension spring (2, 12), particularly to a bearing arm (8, 18) of a tension spring (2, 12);
• further having a connecting member, wherein an end of the tension spring (2, 12) distal to the connecting member is configured as a clamping spring contact into which the busbar (22) may be plugged.
