Abstract

The connection clamp has an insulating housing containing a metallic contact device with at least 2 clamp points, provided by a current rail rod (3) and a one-piece spring steel plate (4), with a number of stamped out spring tongues (5). The latter are positioned in mirror-symmetry to the centre plane (7) of the spring steel plate, with a clamp edge lying in contact with the current rail rod at the end of each tongue, for securing an inserted conductor.
