Abstract
A spring-force terminal point for an electrical conductor (8) with a clamping spring (1) and with a busbar (2) such that, in a clamping position, the conductor (8) bears against the busbar (2) under the pressure of the clamping spring (1), a tension lever (11) holding, with a latching cam (12), the clamping spring (1) in an opening position, and the tension lever (11) being capable of being triggered by means of a rotary movement so as to move the clamping spring (1) out of its opening position into its clamping position.
Claims7
A spring-force clamp for an electrical conductor to be inserted into a conductor housing, comprising:
- a clamping spring and a busbar, said busbar being arranged such that, in a clamping position, said clamping spring exerts pressure on the electrical conductor for bearing against said busbar;
- a tension lever including a latching cam for holding said clamping spring in an open position, said tension lever being capable of rotary movement for releasing a tension of said clamping spring from holding, so as said clamping spring being moved from an open position into the clamping position for clamping the conductor;
- wherein said tension lever is substantially U-shaped and includes a tensioning limb and a resetting limb.
