  1. Verbinder (1, 1a, 1b), an den ein Draht (91) angeschlossen ist, umfassend:
    ein Gehäuse (2);
    ein an dem Gehäuse (2) befestigtes leitfähiges Anschlussteil (3);
    ein elastisches Element (4), das an dem Gehäuse (2) angebracht ist und einen Draht (91) durch die Rückstellkraft des elastischen Elements (4) gegen das Anschlussteil (3) drückt und den Draht (91) daran anklemmt; und
    ein Zustandsbeibehaltungsteil (5), das mit dem elastischen Element (4) in Kontakt kommt und einen nicht verbundenen Zustand des elastischen Elements (4) beibehält, in dem das elastische Element (4) stärker gebogen ist als in seinem verbundenen Zustand, in dem das elastische Element (4) den Draht (91) anklemmt, wobei das Zustandsbeibehaltungsteil (5) einen oberen Endabschnitt (51), einen Verbindungsabschnitt (52) und einen unteren Endabschnitt (53) beinhaltet, wobei das elastische Element (4) teilweise mit einer linken Seitenfläche des Verbindungsabschnitts (52) oder des unteren Endabschnitts (53) in Kontakt steht,
    wobei das Zustandsbeibehaltungsteil (5) auf einem im Gehäuse (2) vorgesehenen Bewegungspfad (24) bewegbar ist zwischen einer ersten Position, in der das Zustandsbeibehaltungsteil (5) im verbundenen Zustand mit dem elastischen Element (4) in Kontakt kommt, und einer zweiten Position, in der das Zustandsbeibehaltungsteil (5) im nicht verbundenen Zustand mit dem elastischen Element (4) in Kontakt kommt,
    wobei
    wenn eine obere Fläche (511) des Zustandsbeibehaltungsteils (5) nach unten bewegt wird und sich in der Auf-Ab-Richtung an derselben Position wie ein abgestufter Abschnitt (241) des Gehäuses (2) befindet, der untere Endabschnitt (53) des Zustandsbeibehaltungsteils (5) durch eine Rückstellkraft des elastischen Elements (4) nach rechts gedrückt wird, und das Zustandsbeibehaltungsteil (5) derart geneigt ist, dass sich der untere Endabschnitt (53) nach rechts bewegt, der obere Endabschnitt (51) sich nach links bewegt, und das Zustandsbeibehaltungsteil (5) am abgestuften Abschnitt (241) des Gehäuses (2) gesichert ist, während es im nicht verbundenen Zustand mit dem elastischen Element (4) in Kontakt steht, um den nicht verbundenen Zustand des elastischen Elements (4) beizubehalten, wobei ein linker Endabschnitt des oberen Endabschnitts (51) des Zustandsbeibehaltungsteils (5) an einer Unterseite des abgestuften Abschnitts (241) eingebettet wird, und die obere Fläche (511) des Zustandsbeibehaltungsteils (5) von der Unterseite her gegen eine untere Fläche des abgestuften Abschnitts (241) gedrückt wird, wobei der Bewegungspfad (24) eine sich nach links erstreckende Aussparung (242) auf der Unterseite des abgestuften Abschnitts (241) aufweist,
    wenn der Draht (91) zwischen dem Anschlussteil (3) und dem elastischen Element (4) im nicht verbundenen Zustand eingeführt wird, eine Kraft indirekt vom Draht (91) auf das Zustandsbeibehaltungsteil (5) übertragen wird, um das Zustandsbeibehaltungsteil (5) zu bewegen und einen Übergang des elastischen Elements (4) von dem nicht verbundenen Zustand in den verbundenen Zustand zu bewirken, wobei der Verbinder (1, 1a, 1b) ferner Folgendes umfasst:
    ein Zustandsfreigabeteil (6, 6a, 6b), das, wenn der Draht zwischen dem Anschlussteil und dem elastischen Element in dem nicht verbundenen Zustand eingeführt wird, eine Kraft von dem Draht überträgt, um die Sicherung des Zustandsbeibehaltungsteils an dem Gehäuse freizugeben, wobei
    das Zustandsfreigabeteil Folgendes beinhaltet:
    einen Stützabschnitt (63, 63b), der drehbar am Gehäuse montiert ist;
    einen ersten Kontaktabschnitt (61, 61b), der mit dem Draht in Kontakt kommt; und
    einen zweiten Kontaktabschnitt (62), der mit dem Zustandsbeibehaltungsteil in Kontakt kommt, wobei der zweite Kontaktabschnitt (62) in der Aussparung (242) angeordnet ist, und
    wenn der Draht eingeführt wird, der erste Kontaktabschnitt nach unten gedrückt wird, um das Zustandsfreigabeteil um den Stützabschnitt zu drehen, und der zweite Kontaktabschnitt das Zustandsbeibehaltungsteil in eine Richtung weg vom gestuften Abschnitt bewegt,
    wobei, wenn das Zustandsfreigabeteil (6) eine vom Draht (91) übertragene Kraft aufnimmt, der obere Endabschnitt (51) des Zustandsbeibehaltungsteils (5) in Richtung des Bewegungspfads (24) aus der Aussparung (242) an der Unterseite des abgestuften Abschnitts (241) herausgedrückt wird, sodass die Sicherung des Zustandsbeibehaltungsteils (5) am abgestuften Abschnitt (241) freigegeben wird, und
    wobei, wenn die Sicherung des Zustandsbeibehaltungsteils (5) am abgestuften Abschnitt (241) freigegeben ist, ein beweglicher Abschnitt (43) des elastischen Elements (4) durch die Rückstellkraft des elastischen Elements (4) diagonal nach oben in Richtung rechts bewegt wird und von der linken Seite her mit dem Draht (91) in Kontakt kommt.
  2. Verbinder nach Anspruch 1, wobei
    eine Oberfläche (511, 513) des Zustandsbeibehaltungsteils, die sich in der ersten Position befindet, innerhalb des Gehäuses und nach innen von einem Bereich einer Oberfläche (25, 26) des Gehäuses angeordnet ist, der das Zustandsbeibehaltungsteil umgibt, oder in derselben Ebene wie dieser Bereich liegt.
  3. Verbinder nach irgendeinem der Ansprüche von 1 bis 2, umfassend:
    ein Kennung (24, 28, 51, 65, 73), die eine visuelle Erkennung dahingehend ermöglicht, ob das Zustandsbeibehaltungsteil den nicht verbundenen Zustand des elastischen Elements beibehält.
  4. Verbinder nach irgendeinem der Ansprüche von 1 bis 3, wobei
    das elastische Element eine Blattfeder ist.
  5. Verbinder (1d), an den ein Draht (91) angeschlossen ist, umfassend:
    ein Gehäuse (2);
    ein an dem Gehäuse (2) befestigtes leitfähiges Anschlussteil (3);
    ein elastisches Element (4), das an dem Gehäuse (2) angebracht ist und einen Draht (91) durch die Rückstellkraft des elastischen Elements (4) gegen das Anschlussteil (3) drückt und den Draht (91) daran anklemmt; und
    ein Zustandsbeibehaltungsteil (5d), das mit dem elastischen Element (4) in Kontakt kommt und einen nicht verbundenen Zustand des elastischen Elements (4) beibehält, in dem das elastische Element (4) stärker gebogen ist als in seinem verbundenen Zustand, in dem das elastische Element (4) den Draht (91) anklemmt, wobei
    das Zustandsbeibehaltungsteil (5d) an einem abgestuften Abschnitt (241d) des Gehäuses (2) gesichert ist, während es in Kontakt mit dem elastischen Element (4) in dem nicht verbundenen Zustand ist, um den nicht verbundenen Zustand des elastischen Elements (4) beizubehalten,
    dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass
    wenn der Draht (91) zwischen dem Anschlussteil (3) und dem elastischen Element (4) in dem nicht verbundenen Zustand eingeführt wird, eine Kraft direkt von dem Draht (91) auf das Zustandsbeibehaltungsteil (5d) übertragen wird, um das Zustandsbeibehaltungsteil (5d) zu bewegen und einen Übergang des elastischen Elements (4) von dem nicht verbundenen Zustand in den verbundenen Zustand zu bewirken.
