Abstract

A connecting terminal (10) for electrical apparatuses such as lights, ovens, washing machines or the like is shown and described, having an insulating body (11) and conductor connecting contacts arranged therein, at least one of which is a protective conductor contact (16), having an externally-located two-limbed connector (21), which is stamped from a thin, flat sheet and which passes through the wall of the insulating body (11) facing a terminal support (23) for direct contact engagement in an insertion opening (22) of the terminal support (23) and can be connected or is connected via connecting limbs (27, 28) to cut-outs (29, 31) in a positively locking or clamped- fitting manner. In the case of such a connecting terminal, a particularly secure connection of the connector (21) to the terminal support (23) is achieved according to the invention in that both limbs (25, 26) of the connector (21) make transitions into the connecting limbs (27, 28) and the connector (21), with the connecting limbs (27, 28), forms a component which overall has an essentially U-shape, and in that the unobstructed width (33) of the insertion opening (22) in the terminal support (23) is at least slightly smaller than the maximum spacing of the narrow external edges of the limbs (25, 26) of the connector (21) from one another. <IMAGE>
