It is also possible to use different conductors, rigid and / or flexible conductors, with different diameters, preferably from 0.2 mm 2 to 4.0 mm 2 .

Die Gestaltung des Federelements kann wesentlich sein, um den Öffnungsweg des Leiterklemmanschlusses zu bestimmen.The design of the spring element may be essential to determine the opening travel of the conductor clamp connection.

Dadurch ist es möglich, den Federschenkel länger auszuführen und bessere Federeigenschaften bzw. eine bessere Rückfederung zu erreichen.This makes it possible to make the spring leg longer and to achieve better spring properties and better springback.

Das Betätigen des Federelements kann bevorzugt mittels eines Lösehebel erfolgen.The actuation of the spring element can preferably be effected by means of a release lever.

Es ist auch von Vorteil, wenn der Stanzteil einstückig ausgebildet ist. Das Stanzteil ist vorzugsweise aus gutleitendem Material, vorzugsweise Kupfer und die Feder aus Federstahl.It is also advantageous if the stamped part is formed in one piece. The stamped part is preferably made of good conductive material, preferably copper and the spring made of spring steel.

Die erfindungsgemäße Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme kann beispielsweise als Verbindungsklemme für Verdrahtungen verwendet werden.The connection or connection terminal according to the invention can be used, for example, as a connection terminal for wiring.

Die erfindungsgemäße Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme kann vorzugsweise eine schraubenlose Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme sein.The connection or connection terminal according to the invention may preferably be a screwless connection or connection terminal.

Die Erfindung betrifft außerdem auch eine Leuchte mit der erfindungsgemäßen Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme.The invention also relates to a lamp with the connection or connection terminal according to the invention.

Die Fig. 3a bis Fig. 4 sind weitere Darstellungen einer erfindungsgemäßen Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme 1, die vorteilhafterweise als schraublose Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme ausgebildet ist.The Fig. 3a to Fig. 4 are further illustrations of a connection or connection terminal 1 according to the invention, which is advantageously designed as a screwless connection or connection terminal.

Die Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme 1 weist zumindest einen elektrischen Kontaktkörper auf. Der elektrische Kontaktkörper mindestens .ein Stanzteil 5 und ein Federelement 6 für einen Leiterklemmanschluss auf.The connection or connection terminal 1 has at least one electrical contact body. The electrical contact body at least .a stamped part 5 and a spring element 6 for a Leitererklemmanschluss.

Das Stanzteil 5 und das Federelement 6 bilden einen elektrischen Kontaktkörper für einen Leiterklemmanschluss für zumindest einen elektrischen Leiter 26. Das Stanzteil 5 und das Federelement 6 sind im Gehäuse 2 angeordnet.The stamped part 5 and the spring element 6 form an electrical contact body for a conductor clamp connection for at least one electrical conductor 26. The stamped part 5 and the spring element 6 are arranged in the housing 2.

Das Stanzteil 5 weist mindestens einen ersten Durchbruch 34 und einen zweiten Durchbruch 35 auf. Das Federelement 6 ist zumindest teilweise in dem zweiten Durchbruch 35 des Stanzteils 5 angeordnet. Der Leiter 26 wird zur Kontaktierung mit dem Kontaktkörper durch den ersten Durchbruch 34 geführt. Die Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme 1 weist einen Lösehebel 12 auf, der ein Betätigen des Federelementes 6 ermöglicht,The stamped part 5 has at least one first opening 34 and one second opening 35. The spring element 6 is arranged at least partially in the second opening 35 of the stamped part 5. The conductor 26 is guided for contacting with the contact body through the first opening 34. The connection or connection terminal 1 has a release lever 12, which allows actuation of the spring element 6,

Das Federelement 6 weist einen ersten Schenkel 61 und einen zweiten Schenkel 62 auf. Die beiden Schenkel 61, 62 sind an einem Spangenbogen, im folgenden einfach mit Verbindungsstelle 63 bezeichnet, miteinander verbunden. Hierauf wird mit Bezug auf Fig. 4 und 5 näher eingegangen. Der ersten Durchbruch 34 ist im Stanzteil 5 für den Leiterklemmanschluss auch vorgesehen, damit der Leiter 26 zwischen dem Federelement 6, bzw. seinem Federschenkel 61, und dem ersten Durchbruch 34 des Stanzteils 5 gehalten und kontaktiert werden kann.The spring element 6 has a first leg 61 and a second leg 62 on. The two legs 61, 62 are connected to each other at a Spangenbogen, hereinafter simply referred to with connection point 63. This will be with reference to Fig. 4 and 5 discussed in more detail. The first opening 34 is also provided in the stamped part 5 for the conductor clamp connection, so that the conductor 26 can be held and contacted between the spring element 6, or its spring leg 61, and the first opening 34 of the stamped part 5.

Das Federelement 6, bzw. sein Federschenkel 61, kann bevorzugt mit einem Lösehebel 12 betätigt werden.The spring element 6, or its spring leg 61, can preferably be actuated with a release lever 12.

In den Figuren 9a und 9b ist jeweils eine Schnittansicht der Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme 1 dargestellt. Fig. 9a zeigt die Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme 1 mit geschlossenem (unbetätigtem) Lösehebel 12. Fig. 9b zeigt die Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme 1 mit offenem (betätigtem) Lösehebel 12.In the FIGS. 9a and 9b in each case a sectional view of the connection or connection terminal 1 is shown. Fig. 9a shows the connection or connection terminal 1 with closed (unactuated) release lever 12th Fig. 9b shows the connection or connection terminal 1 with open (operated) release lever 12th

Wenn der Lösehebel 12 mit seinen Hebelarmen 14 auf die Löselasche 64 und somit auf den damit verbundenen Federschenkel 61 des Federelements 6 drückt, ermöglicht dies die Öffnung des Federelements 6 für die Entfernung oder optional auch für die Einführung des Leiters 26 aus der Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme 1.When the release lever 12 presses with its lever arms 14 on the release tab 64 and thus on the associated spring leg 61 of the spring element 6, this allows the opening of the spring element 6 for the removal or optionally also for the introduction of the conductor 26 from the connection or connection terminal 1.

Das Federelement 6 und das Stanzteil 5 kann vorzugsweise jeweils einteilig gefertigt werden. Das Federelement 6 kann auch aus mehreren einzelnen Federelementen gebildet werden, die jeweils einzeln in je einen zweiten Durchbruch 35 des Stanzteils 5 eingesetzt werden.The spring element 6 and the stamped part 5 can preferably be made in one piece. The spring element 6 can also be formed from a plurality of individual spring elements, which are each used individually in each case a second opening 35 of the stamped part 5.

Bei einer Betätigung des Lösehebels 12 durch eine Rotation in Betätigungsrichtung F wird der Federschenkel 61 in Richtung des Federschenkels 62 gedrückt und eine Entnahme oder auch Einführung des Leiters 26 ermöglicht. Der Lösehebel 12 ist derart ausgestaltet, dass zwischen den beiden Hebelarmen 14 ein Kanal 13 gebildet wird, durch den der Leiter bei betätigtem Lösehebel 12 eingeführt werden kann. Da der Lösehebel 12 Hebelarme 14 aufweist, können diese im betätigten Zustand des Lösehebels 12 als Leiterführung dienen.Upon actuation of the release lever 12 by a rotation in the direction of actuation F, the spring leg 61 is pressed in the direction of the spring leg 62 and a removal or introduction of the conductor 26 allows. The release lever 12 is configured such that between the two lever arms 14, a channel 13 is formed, through which the conductor with actuated release lever 12th can be introduced. Since the release lever 12 has lever arms 14, these can serve as a conductor guide in the actuated state of the release lever 12.

Der Lösehebel 12 kann eine Rast-Arretierung 15 aufweisen. Diese Rast-Arretierung 15 kann so an dem Lösehebel 12 angeordnet sein, dass der Lösehebel 12 in betätigtem Zustand an einer Gehäuse-Noppe 21 einrastet und somit der Lösehebel 12 fixiert wird. Vorzugsweise ist die Rast-Arretierung 15 oberhalb einer Hebel-Senke 22 angeordnet. Die Hebel-Senke 22 kann so ausgebildet sein, dass sie von der Passform zu der Form der Gehäuse-Noppe 21 passt und somit ein Einrasten der Rast-Arretierung 15 in die Gehäuse-Noppe 21 ermöglicht.The release lever 12 may have a latching detent 15. This latching lock 15 can be arranged on the release lever 12 so that the release lever 12 engages in the actuated state on a housing nub 21 and thus the release lever 12 is fixed. Preferably, the detent lock 15 is disposed above a lever depression 22. The lever depression 22 may be designed such that it matches the shape of the housing nub 21 from the fit, thus enabling the locking detent 15 to snap into the housing nub 21.

Das Gehäuse 2 kann Prüföffnungen 3 aufweisen, z.B. hier als Durchlaß für einen Phasenprüfer als Werkzeugs 29. Die Prüföffnungen 3 sind derart angeordnet, dass dass Werkzeug 29 durch das Prüföffnungen 3 auf den eingeführten Leiter 26 geführt werden kann, um eine direkte Kontaktprüfung durchführen zu können. Die Prüföffnung 3 ist vorzugsweise als offene Prüföffnung ausgebildet, so dass ein Werkzeug 29 eingeführt werden kann und gleichzeitig ein offenes Prüffenster gebildet wird. Vorzugsweise weist das Gehäuse 2 für jeden zu kontaktierenden Leiter 26 eine Prüföffnung 3 auf, so dass die Anzahl der Leitereinführungsöffnung 4 gleich der Anzahl der Prüföffnungen 3 ist.The housing 2 may have test openings 3, e.g. here as a passage for a phase tester as a tool 29. The test openings 3 are arranged such that the tool 29 can be guided through the test openings 3 on the inserted conductor 26 in order to perform a direct contact test can. The test opening 3 is preferably designed as an open test opening, so that a tool 29 can be inserted and at the same time an open test window is formed. For each conductor 26 to be contacted, the housing 2 preferably has a test opening 3, so that the number of conductor insertion openings 4 is equal to the number of test openings 3.

Weiterhin ist in Fig. 6 deutlich zu erkennen, dass die beiden Federschenkel 61, 62 des Federelementes 6 an der Verbindungsstelle 63 über eine Biegung verbunden sind, die einen Bereich von mehr als 90° umspannt. Mit Bezug auf Fig. 6 ergibt sich also vom ersten Federschenkel 61 in Richtung auf die Verbindungsstelle 63 gesehen eine Biegung von mehr als 90°, im Folgenden auch als Biegung bezeichnet und dann ein Übergang in den zweiten Federschenkel 62. Die Federkräfte entstehen sowohl in den beiden Federschenkeln 61, 62 als auch an der Verbindungsstelle 63, wobei durch die vorteilhafte Formgebung ein Überdehnen des Federelementes 6 vermieden werden kann. Dies erhöht die Sicherheit des Kontaktes.Furthermore, in Fig. 6 clearly recognizable that the two spring legs 61, 62 of the spring element 6 are connected at the connection point 63 via a bend which spans a range of more than 90 °. Regarding Fig. 6 Thus, seen from the first spring leg 61 in the direction of the junction 63 seen a bend of more than 90 °, hereinafter also referred to as bending and then a transition into the second spring leg 62. The spring forces arise both in the two spring legs 61, 62 as also at the connection point 63, whereby an overstretching of the spring element 6 can be avoided by the advantageous shape. This increases the security of the contact.

Das Verbindungselement 63 ist im Bereich des zweiten Durchbruchs 35 angeordnet. Bei einer Betätigung des Federelements 6 kann dieses innerhalb des zweiten Durchbruchs 35 schwingen, dass heißt wenn beispielsweise durch das Lösehebel 12 ein Druck auf das Federelement 6 ausgeübt wird, wird sich der Federschenkel 61 nach unten bewegen Es wird durch den zweiten Durchbruchs 35 ein Federweg für das Federelement 6 und insbesondere das Verbindungselement 63 ermöglicht. Auf diese Weise ist ein sehr flacher Aufbau des Stanzteils 5 und auch der gesamten Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme 1 möglich.The connecting element 63 is arranged in the region of the second opening 35. Upon actuation of the spring element 6, this can oscillate within the second opening 35, that is, if, for example, by the release lever 12, a pressure on the spring element 6 is exerted, the spring leg 61 will move downward It is through the second opening 35 a spring travel for allows the spring element 6 and in particular the connecting element 63. In this way, a very flat structure of the stamped part 5 and also the entire connection or connection terminal 1 is possible.

Der Stanzteil 5 ist im Gehäuse 2 der Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme 1 angeordnet, wobei wenn die Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme 1 mehrere Federelemente 6 aufweist,
ist vorzugsweise ein Stanzteil mit mehreren parallel angeordneten ersten Durchbrüchen 34 und zweiten Durchbrüchen 35 oder auch mehrere miteinander verbundenen Stanzteile 5 im Gehäuse 2 vorhanden. Das Stanzteil 5 ist in einer Kammer des Gehäuses 2 vorgesehen, und wird zwischen den Gehäuse-Seitenwänden 19 und/oder Gehäuse-Zwischenwänden 20 positioniert.The stamped part 5 is arranged in the housing 2 of the connection or connection terminal 1, wherein when the connection or connection terminal 1 has a plurality of spring elements 6,
is preferably a stamped part with a plurality of parallel first apertures 34 and second apertures 35 or more interconnected stampings 5 in the housing 2 is present. The stamped part 5 is provided in a chamber of the housing 2, and is positioned between the housing side walls 19 and / or housing partitions 20.

Es wird bevorzugt, dass der Stanzteil 5 aus einem Material ausgeführt ist, wobei das Material leitend ist.It is preferred that the stamped part 5 is made of a material, wherein the material is conductive.

In den Fig. 6 ist der Zustand der Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme 1 vor der Kontaktierung, wobei der Leiter 26 noch nicht in die Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme 1 eingeführt wurde.In the Fig. 6 is the state of the connection or connection terminal 1 before contacting, wherein the conductor 26 has not yet been introduced into the connection or connection terminal 1.

Wie in den Darstellungen ersichtlich ist, können über die Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme 1 elektrische Leitungen miteinander und mit der Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme 1, insbesondere mit dem Stanzteil 5 der Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme 1, verbunden werden.As can be seen in the illustrations, electrical lines can be connected to each other and to the connection or connection terminal 1, in particular to the stamped part 5 of the connection or connection terminal 1, via the connection or connection terminal 1.

In der dargestellten Ausführungsform der Fig. 4 weist das Stanzteil 5 ein Federelement 6 auf.In the illustrated embodiment of the Fig. 4 the punched part 5 has a spring element 6.

Das Stanzteil 5 weist mindestens einen ersten Durchbruch 34 und einen zweiten Durchbruch 35 auf. Das Federelement 6 ist zumindest teilweise in dem zweiten Durchbruch 35 angeordnet.The stamped part 5 has at least one first opening 34 and one second opening 35. The spring element 6 is arranged at least partially in the second opening 35.

Der Federschenkel 61 des Federelements 6 bildet den ersten Federschenkel des Federelements 6 mit einem freien Ende, das im unbetätigten Zustand und ohne Leiter 26 am Kontaktrahmen 7 des Stanzteils 5 anliegt und den Leiterklemmanschluss bildet.The spring leg 61 of the spring element 6 forms the first spring leg of the spring element 6 with a free end which rests in the unactuated state and without a conductor 26 on the contact frame 7 of the stamped part 5 and forms the Leiterklemmanschluss.

Weiterhin weist das Federelement 6 durch seine Form Verbindungsstelle 63 und einen zweiten Federschenkel 62 auf. Die Verbindungsstelle 63 ist anschließend zum zweiten Federschenkel 62 angeordnet. Der zweite Federschenkel 62 liegt auf der Unterseite des Stanzteils 5 auf.Furthermore, the spring element 6 by its shape connection point 63 and a second spring leg 62. The connection point 63 is then arranged to the second spring leg 62. The second spring leg 62 rests on the underside of the stamped part 5.

Sowohl im unbetätigten Zustand und ohne Leiter 26 als auch im betätigten Zustand und ohne Leiter 26 stützt die Unterseite des Stanzteils 5 den zweiten Federschenkel 62 ab.Both in the unactuated state and without a conductor 26 and in the actuated state and without a conductor 26, the underside of the stamped part 5 supports the second spring leg 62 from.

Die Verbindungsstelle 63 befindet sich im Bereich des zweiten Durchbruchs 35. Bei Betätigung des Federelementes 6 durch Einführen des Leiters 26 oder durch Betätigung des Lösehebels 12 wird der erste Federschenkel 61 in Richtung des zweiten Federschenkels 62 bewegt, indem sich der Biegewinkel der Verbindungsstelle 63 erhöht.When the spring element 6 is actuated by inserting the conductor 26 or by actuating the release lever 12, the first spring leg 61 is moved in the direction of the second spring leg 62 by increasing the bending angle of the connection point 63.

Das Federelement 6 ist so ausgebildet, dass im unbestätigten Zustand und ohne Leiter 26 am Federschenkel 61 am Kontaktrahmen 7 anliegt. Der Kontaktrahmen 7 wird insbesondere durch den Teil des Stanzteils 5 gebildet, welcher oberhalb des ersten Durchbruchs 34 liegt. Die Federschenkel 61, 62 und die Verbindungsstelle 63 sind vorteilhafterweise so ausgebildet, dass sie eine Hebelkraft bei der Betätigung des Federelement 6 gewährleisten können.The spring element 6 is designed so that in the unconfirmed state and without a conductor 26 abuts the spring leg 61 on the contact frame 7. The contact frame 7 is formed in particular by the part of the stamped part 5 which lies above the first opening 34. The spring legs 61, 62 and the connection point 63 are advantageously designed so that they can ensure a lever force during the actuation of the spring element 6.

Der Biegeradius des Federelementes 6, also der Biegewinkel der Verbindungsstelle 63 und somit der Winkel von der beiden Federschenkel 61, 62 zueinander ist vorzugsweise derart bemessen, dass das Federelement 6 auf den eingesetzten Leiter 26 eine ausreichende Anpresskraft ausübt, damit der Leiter 26 ausreichend in der Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme 1 fixiert ist. Zum anderen ist das Federelement 6 in dem Stanzteil 5 durch die wirkende Federkraft, welche von dem Federelement 6 und insbesondere durch den beiden Federschenkel 61 auf den Kontaktrahmen 7 sowie die Unterseite des Stanzteils 5 wirkt, auch bei nicht eingeführtem Leiter 26 fixiert ist. Das Federelement 6 weist vorzugsweise eine leichte Vorspannung auf.The bending radius of the spring element 6, so the bending angle of the connection point 63 and thus the angle of the two spring legs 61, 62nd to each other is preferably dimensioned such that the spring element 6 on the inserted conductor 26 exerts a sufficient contact force, so that the conductor 26 is sufficiently fixed in the connection or connection terminal 1. On the other hand, the spring element 6 is fixed in the stamped part 5 by the acting spring force, which acts from the spring element 6 and in particular by the two spring leg 61 on the contact frame 7 and the underside of the stamped part 5, even when not inserted conductor 26. The spring element 6 preferably has a slight bias.

In Fig. 5 ist eine Ansicht des Stanzteils 5 dargestellt. Dort ist auf der Unterseite des Stanzteils ein zweiter Durchbruch 35 angeordnet.In Fig. 5 a view of the stamped part 5 is shown. There, a second opening 35 is arranged on the underside of the stamped part.

In den Fig. 6 ist beispielhaft die Änderung der Lage des ersten Federschenkels 61 zur Fläche des zweiten Federschenkels 62 bei der Betätigung durch den Lösehebel 12 dargestellt. Bei Betätigung des Federelements 6 mittels des Lösehebels 12 in Richtung der Betätigungsrichtung F bewirkt der Drückerweg einen ungefähr gleichmäßigen Öffnungsweg des Leiterklemmanschlusses.In the Fig. 6 is exemplified the change in the position of the first spring leg 61 to the surface of the second spring leg 62 in the operation by the release lever 12. Upon actuation of the spring element 6 by means of the release lever 12 in the direction of the actuating direction F, the presser travel causes an approximately uniform opening travel of the conductor clamp connection.

Der erste Federschenkel 61 wurde in Richtung der Betätigungsrichtung F gedrückt, bis der erste Federschenkel 61 des Federelements 6 zumindest teilweise auf der dem zweiten Federschenkel 62 des Federelements 6 der Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme 1 aufliegt.The first spring leg 61 was pressed in the direction of the actuating direction F until the first spring leg 61 of the spring element 6 at least partially rests on the second spring leg 62 of the spring element 6 of the connection or connection terminal 1.

Die Fläche des ersten Federschenkel 61 liegt vorzugsweise bei eingeführtem Leiter 26 an diesem Leiter 26 an. In den Fig. 7 oben ist der Zustand ohne Betätigung des Federelements 6 dargestellt, wobei die Fläche des ersten Federschenkels 61 am Kontaktrahmen 7 des Stanzteils 5 anliegt.The surface of the first spring leg 61 is preferably at this conductor 26 at this conductor 26 inserted. In the Fig. 7 above, the state without actuation of the spring element 6 is shown, wherein the surface of the first spring leg 61 rests against the contact frame 7 of the stamped part 5.

Vorteil hier ist, dass die Bauhöhe der Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme 1 sehr niedrig gehalten werden kann und trotzdem einen ausreichend Öffnungsweg für den Leiterklemmanschluss ermöglichen. Für Anwendungen ist es insbesondere von Vorteil, da bei solchen Produkten eine kleine Baugröße meistens gefordert wird.The advantage here is that the overall height of the connection or connection terminal 1 can be kept very low and still allow a sufficient opening path for the conductor clamp connection. For applications it is particular advantageous because such products a small size is usually required.

Der Leiter 26 kann in die Leitereinführungsöffnung 4 der Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme 1 eingeführt werden und in den Leiterklemmanschluss geschoben werden. Es ist auch von Vorteil, wenn der maximale Öffnungsweg des Leiterklemmanschluss größer ist als der einzuklemmende Durchmesser des Leiters 26. Beim Entfernen des Lösehebels 12 durch Rotation in die geschlossene (unbetätigte) Position wird das Federelement 6 durch seine Rückstellkraft den Leiter 26 im Leiterklemmanschluss einklemmen.The conductor 26 can be inserted into the conductor insertion opening 4 of the connection or connection terminal 1 and pushed into the conductor clamp connection. It is also advantageous if the maximum opening travel of the conductor clamp connection is greater than the diameter of the conductor 26 to be clamped. When the release lever 12 is removed by rotation into the closed (unactuated) position, the spring element 6 will clamp the conductor 26 in the conductor clamp connection due to its restoring force.

Bei der Demontage des Leiters 26 bzw. um den Leiter 26 vom Leiterklemmanschluss zu lösen, kann der erste Federschenkel 61 des Federelements 6 mittels des Lösehebels 12 in Richtung der Betätigungsrichtung F gedrückt werden, auch bis zum maximalen Drückerweg, womit eine Betätigung des Federelements 6 ausgelöst wird und einen Öffnen des Leiterklemmanschlusses bis zum maximalen Öffnungsweg wiederum ermöglicht. Der Leiter 26 kann dann aus der Leitereinführungsöffnung 4 entfernt werden.When disassembling the conductor 26 or to release the conductor 26 from the conductor clamp connection, the first spring leg 61 of the spring element 6 can be pressed by means of the release lever 12 in the direction of the actuating direction F, even up to the maximum presser travel, whereby an actuation of the spring element 6 triggered and in turn allows opening of the conductor clamp connection up to the maximum opening travel. The conductor 26 can then be removed from the conductor insertion opening 4.

In Fig. 7 ist beispielhaft die Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme 1 dargestellt, wobei hier die Einführung eines starren Leiters in die Anschluss- oder Verbindungsklemme 1 angedeutet ist. Die Einführung eines starren Leiters 26 ist auch ohne Betätigung des Lösehebels 12 möglich, also bei geschlossenem Lösehebel 12. Der Lösehebel 12 ist derart angeordnet, dass das Federelement 6 durch die Hebelarme 14 nicht blockiert wird, wenn der Lösehebel 12 sich in der geschlossenen (unbetätigten) Position befindet. Durch ein Einführen des starren Leiters 26 kann der erste Federschenkel 61 in Richtung des zweiten Federschenkel bewegt (zurückgedrückt) werden und somit der Leiter 26 durch den ersten Durchbruch 34 zwischen den Kontaktrahmen 7 des Stanzteils 5 und das Federelement 6 eingeführt werden, bis der Leiter 26 an die Anschlagfläche 16, die durch das Gehäuse 2 gebildet wird, erreicht. Ob der Leiter 26 korrekt kontaktiert worden ist und somit die Anschlagfläche 16 erreicht hat und damit auch mit dem Stanzteil 5 und dem Federelement 6 kontaktiert ist, kann mittels der Prüföffnung 3 kontrolliert werden.In Fig. 7 is exemplified the connection or connection terminal 1, in which case the introduction of a rigid conductor in the connection or connection terminal 1 is indicated.
