Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Anschlussklemme für elektrische Leiter, mit einem zur Führung von Kraftstrom vorgesehenen Kontaktelement (10), einer den Leiter in elektrischer und mechanischer Verbindung mit dem Kontaktelement (10) haltenden, im Material von dem Material des Kontaktelements verschiedenen Klemmfeder (11) und einem das Kontaktelement (10) und die Klemmfeder (11) aufnehmenden Isoliergehäuse (1) mit einer Einführungsöffnung (27) für den Leiter (18). Erfindungsgemäß weist das Kontaktelement (10) einen ersten Profilabschnitt (15) mit einer zu der Einführungsöffnung (27) ausgerichteten Stecköffnung (17) und einem von dem ersten Profilabschnitt in Steckrichtung abgewinkelten zweiten Profilabschnitt (16,20) auf. Ferner ist die Klemmfeder an einem freien Ende mit dem Kontaktelement verbunden, erstreckt sich im Bogen über den ersten Profilabschnitt und mit dem anderen freien Ende durch die Stecköffnung (17) geführt, um den Leiter (18) gegen den zweiten Profilabschnitt (16,20) anzudrücken.

Figure 00000001
The invention relates to a connecting terminal for electrical conductors, with a contact element (10) provided for guiding power current, a clamping spring (11) holding the conductor in electrical and mechanical connection with the contact element (10) and different in material from the material of the contact element an insulating housing (1) receiving the contact element (10) and the clamping spring (11) and having an insertion opening (27) for the conductor (18). According to the invention, the contact element (10) has a first profile section (15) with a plug opening (17) aligned with the insertion opening (27) and a second profile section (16, 20) angled in the plugging direction from the first profile section. Furthermore, the clamping spring is connected to the contact element at one free end, extends in an arc over the first profile section and is guided through the plug-in opening (17) with the other free end in order to guide the conductor (18) against the second profile section (16, 20). to press.
