  • the recess in the receiving area of the insulating body further ensures that the insulating body can be used regardless of whether a contact insert with a clamping screw or with a screwless clamping element is to be received therein.
  • a (based on these two possible embodiments of the clamping device) "universal" insulating body is provided.
  • the contact insert can be inserted into the insulating body regardless of whether the clamping device used comprises a clamping screw or a screwless clamping element. In that an actuation of the clamping device both in the case of a clamping screw and in the case of a screwless clamping element in the inserted state of the contact insert is still possible, a conductor can be attached at any time releasably and reconnectable with the clamping device within the insertion of the contact insert.

  • the recess is formed open against the insertion direction to allow insertion of the contact insert with preassembled clamping device in the insulating body.
  • the recess has an opening in the direction opposite to the insertion direction, which is large enough to introduce a pre-assembled on a contact insert clamping screw. This simplifies in particular the assembly of the connector, since the contact insert and the preassembled clamping device can be introduced as an assembly in the insulating body.
  • the contact insert in the region of the insertion opening has a contact inner surface for the conductor, against which the conductor is pressed by the clamping device and which has a macroscopic surface structure to increase the number of contact points of the conductor with the contact insert.

  • the sawtooth profile produces a directional mechanical resistance, similar to a barb, that does not significantly affect the movement of the conductor in one direction (insertion) while making it difficult to move in the opposite direction (withdrawal). This is achieved by the fact that the profile with its opposite movement of the tips increases the necessary extraction force of the conductor.
  • the contact insert may have an engagement region in which at least one positive connection point for forming the cylindrical contact insert is arranged.
  • a cylindrical contact insert can be produced from a substantially planar base material by providing an engagement formation, for example a bulge, and a corresponding receiving formation, for example a recess, for producing a positive connection at two outer edges of the flat base material to be joined.

  • such a conductor protection is always designed as a separate part, which must be additionally introduced and secured in the contact insert.
  • the integral design of the conductor protection makes an additional fuse superfluous without restricting the functionality of the conductor protection.
  • the clamping device may comprise a screwless clamping element in the form of a clamping spring which can be actuated by an opening arranged on the contact insert by means of an actuating tool.
  • the clamping spring in a sectional view containing the central longitudinal axis has a substantially V-shaped cross section with two legs, which are movable relative to each other due to elastic deformation.

  • the conductor is inserted into the insertion opening so far that the clamping leg - as soon as it is no longer held under tension with the actuating tool - presses the conductor against the contact surface in the region of the insertion opening and fastened in this way.
  • the opening on the contact insert is adapted in shape to the arrangement of the clamping spring in the contact insert, so that it provides at least one stop for supporting the actuating tool. As a result, in particular the handling of the actuating tool is facilitated.
  • the contact insert is designed to be made of a flat sheet by punching and bending.
  • the contact insert is structurally designed such that it can be punched out as a whole from a flat sheet metal and formed by bending individual parts to the cylindrical contact element.
