  • connection terminal according to the preamble of claim 1 according to the invention by the characterizing features of claim 1; advantageous embodiments are the subject of further claims.
  • the actuating element and the spring element are arranged at a free end of the carrier element, wherein the exposed free end of the carrier element provides good accessibility during the assembly of the spring element and of the actuating element.
  • the spring element on the one hand openings for receiving the free end of the support member and on the other recesses for receiving the actuating element, so that a tight fit of the assembly is ensured due to the associated positive contours between the individual elements.
  • the spring element essentially has a delta shape with a transverse web and with two adjoining legs, which in each case creates a clamping point for conductors to be connected on both sides of the free end of the carrier element in a simple manner.
  • the transverse web has a radius in the longitudinal direction or has a fold transversely to the longitudinal direction, so that the bending stiffness of the spring element can be increased.
  • the actuating element has a substantially U-shape with a traverse and with two adjoining side parts, whereby the plug-in connections with the spring element and with the carrier element by lateral gripping is enabled.
  • the actuating element is provided on the inner sides of its side parts with guide grooves for the carrier element, so that a secure sliding guide is provided in the longitudinal direction of the carrier element.
  • the actuating element in particular on at least one of the side parts, a locking element as a release lock relative to the spring element, whereby the actuating element is captively connected to the spring element; Furthermore, this is given a stroke limitation in the direction of the rest position of the actuating element.
  • the actuating element is provided on its side parts in each case with a stop for limiting the operating depth, so that jamming of the actuating element on the spring element can be avoided.
  • the side parts of the actuating element are ELIdge each equipped with wedge-shaped actuating surfaces having different angles to the longitudinal axis of the actuating element; In this case, in response to the actuating stroke at a first actuating position, a first nip and at a second actuating position, a second nip be solved.
  • At least one actuating surface which forms a blunt angle to the longitudinal axis of the actuating element, a reinforced edge in the transition region to the longitudinal side of the side part, whereby a haptic feedback on the opening of one or the other nip occurs to the operator of the actuating element.
  • the actuating element is equipped with an actuating extension, which is adapted, for example, to the contour of a fingertip to allow comfortable operation of the actuating element.
  • an electrical device in particular a protective switching device, equipped with the connection terminal, so that in these usually arranged in series built-in devices can be done a cost-reduced connection of conductors.
  • the electrical device housing contours on which the connection terminal is mounted which is given by simple means a reliable support.
  • connection terminal 1 in Figure 1, a screwless, spring-loaded connection terminal 1 is shown in a spatially subdivided representation.
  • the connection terminal 1 or plug-in connection terminal is in this case provided for connecting a partially stripped first electrical conductor 2 and a partially stripped further electrical conductor 3.
  • Components of the connection terminal 1 are a carrier element 4, a spring element 5 and an actuating element 6, which can be mounted together by mutual plugging according to the directional arrows to form an assembly according to FIG.
  • the module can thus be stored as a functionally reliable and preassembled unit until its further use.
  • the support member 4 is shown in FIG 1 part of a bimetal, wherein a one-piece, ie physically continuous or a two-piece design is providable.
  • the carrier element 4 at its free end 7 opposite the fixed end 8, a connection point 9, which may for example be designed as a weld.
  • connection terminal 1 is shown as a mounted unit, wherein the spring element 5 is supported by means of the support member 4.
  • spring element 5 By biased and symmetrical executed spring element 5, the soul of the one and / or the other electrical conductor 2,3 - as shown in phantom - fixed to one terminal point 10,11 and releasably acting by means of acting on the spring element 5 actuator 6.
  • the connector is given both between the carrier element 4 and the spring element 5 and between the spring element 5 and the actuating element 6.
  • the actuating element 6 and the spring element 5 are symmetrically supported at the free end 7 of the support element 4 according to FIG 1 in the sense of a positive functional seat and secured against unintentional displacement.
  • the spring element 5 has, on the one hand, openings 12, 13 according to FIG. 1 for accommodating the free end 7 of the carrier element 4 and, on the other hand, recesses 14, 15 according to FIG. 1 for receiving the actuating element 6.
  • the rectangular or window-like openings 12,13 are provided approximately centrally to one in the transverse web 16 of the delta-shaped spring element 5 and the other to the mutually tapered, adjoining the cross bar 16 legs 17,18, with the aid of a double clamping can be done.
  • the conductor cores or conductors 2, 3 to be clamped are to be inserted through recesses 19, 20 in the transverse web 16 of the clamping spring 5 as far as the respective clamping point 10, 11.
  • the guided through the openings 12,13 ELId worne part 7 of the support member 4 has two paragraphs 21,22 as shown in FIG 1, which serve as a seat and thus as a limitation of the insertion depth for the spring element 5.
  • the rectangular recesses 14,15 in the edge zone of the transverse web 16, approximately at the height and on both sides of an opening 13 are introduced.
  • the transverse web 16 to increase the flexural rigidity of the spring element 5 in its longitudinal direction a radius or a bend or - As indicated by dash-dotted lines - transverse to the longitudinal direction of a fold 23.
  • the actuating element 6 equipped with an actuating extension 24 according to FIGS. 1 and 2 essentially has a U-shape with a traverse 25 and two adjoining side parts 26, 27. On the inner sides of its side parts 26, 27, the actuating element 6 is provided with guide grooves 28 according to FIG. 1 for the carrier element 4. Further, the actuating element on both side parts 26,27 each have a locking element 29 as a release lock against the spring element 5. To limit the depth of actuation, the actuating element 6, provided on the side parts 26,27 each having a stop 30 according to FIG 1, which is given by a material reduction; the resulting edge comes to an inner surface of the one leg 17 of the spring element 5 from a certain displacement to abut and thus limits the stroke depth of the actuating element. 6
  • the side parts 26,27 of the actuating element 6 are ELId lake equipped with wedge-shaped actuating surfaces 31,32 which have different angles to the longitudinal axis of the actuating element 6. Since in this case the legs 17, 18 of the spring element 5 can be actuated one after the other, a first clamped conductor can be detached from another clamped conductor as a function of the stroke depth of the actuating element 6, whereby unintentional disconnection of both conductors can be avoided.
  • both actuating surfaces 31, 32 have a reinforced edge 33 in the transition region to the longitudinal side of the side part 26.
  • connection terminal 1 which due to its screw-free design can also be referred to as a plug-in terminal, is in an electrical device 34, in particular in FIG a protective switching device, such as a circuit breaker housed.
  • the connection terminal 1 is mounted on housing contours 35 of the electrical device 34.
  • a carrier element 4 serves to hold a spring element 5, wherein by means of the spring element 5 at least one electrical conductor 2, 3 fixed and by means of an acting on the spring element 5 actuator 6 is releasable, wherein a plug connection with the spring element 5 is given both with the carrier element 4 and with the actuating element 6.
  • elaborate assembly tools and manufacturing processes can be saved, which serve for example for the prestressing of clamping springs or for welding the same to support elements.
