Abstract

The unit has a casing (2) with at least one connector for at least one insulated conductor (3) or stripped conductor (4) with at least one cutting element and at least one spring element. Both the cutting element and the spring element are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the conductor. The cutting element and the spring element may consist of one metal part (5) or may be mounted one behind the other.
