Abstract
A connection terminal for the electrically contacting connection of a conductor to a current bar which is accommodated on a holder includes a clamping spring having a first limb and a second limb, said clamping spring being provided for applying a clamping force for damping the conductor. An actuation device which comprises the clamping spring is provided. Between the first limb and the second limb of the clamping spring, which is in the form of a tension spring, is arranged an insert device which provides a counter-bearing for a tool when the actuation device is actuated.
Claims20
A connecting terminal for an electrically contacting connection of at least one conductor to a current bar accommodated on a holder, the connecting terminal comprising:
- an actuating device including a clamping spring in a form of a tension spring having a first limb and a second limb, the clamping spring being configured to apply a clamping force for clamping the conductor;
- and
- an insert device disposed between the first limb and the second limb of the clamping spring, the insert device configured to provide a counter bearing for a tool in response to the actuation of the actuating device;
- wherein the insert device includes a receiving opening configured to receive a tool, and wherein the receiving opening provides the counter bearing.
A connecting terminal for an electrically contacting connection of at least one conductor to a current bar accommodated on a holder, the connecting terminal comprising:
- an actuating device including a clamping spring in a form of a tension spring having a first limb and a second limb, the clamping spring being configured to apply a clamping force for clamping the conductor;
- and
- an insert device disposed between the first limb and the second limb of the clamping spring, the insert device configured to provide a counter bearing for a tool in response to the actuation of the actuating device;
- wherein the insert device includes an insert element and a holding limb that extends away from the insert element, forming a gap.
A connecting terminal for an electrically contacting connection of at least one conductor to a current bar accommodated on a holder, the connecting terminal comprising:
- an actuating device including a clamping spring in a form of a tension spring having a first limb and a second limb, the clamping spring being configured to apply a clamping force for clamping the conductor;
- and
- an insert device disposed between the first limb and the second limb of the clamping spring, the insert device configured to provide a counter bearing for a tool in response to the actuation of the actuating device;
- wherein the actuating device has a protective cover configured for covering purposes in which an operating opening is provided for introducing a tool.
