- the holding means is preferably arranged on a retaining spring, which is pivotable about a second pivot axis in and against a second pivoting direction. By giving away the retaining spring, the holding means is therefore pivotable so that the clamping leg is unlocked.
- the retaining spring preferably has a pressure surface, which further preferably extends transversely to the sliding direction. It is preferred that the retaining spring is pivotable by pressure on the pressure surface in the second pivoting direction.
- the pressure surface is arranged in the sliding direction below the holding means.
- the spring-loaded terminal has a sliding sleeve which serves as an insertion aid for the conductor and which facilitate the insertion of such finely stranded conductors, which are particularly flexible.
- the spring clamp is characterized in that it comprises a return means, which is provided for pivoting back of the clamping leg.
- the clamping leg is founded in that it comprises a return means, which is provided for pivoting back of the clamping leg.
- the clamping leg is adoptedschwenkbar by moving the return means against the pivoting direction of the clamping state in the locking state.
- the return means protrudes in the clamping state of a terminal housing of the spring terminal. This makes it very easily accessible and very easy to push in the sliding direction. The handling of the spring terminal is therefore feasible for full conductors and stranded conductors in the same way and very simple.
- the return means is jammed in the clamping state between the clamping leg and the terminal housing in this, so that it does not come off the terminal housing.
- the clamping spring, the busbar and / or the retaining spring are preferably made as stamped and bent parts made of sheet metal, preferably made of strip material, since this is inexpensive possible with conventional methods.
- the busbar is preferably made of an electrically highly conductive material, in particular of a copper-containing metal.
- Clamping spring and retaining spring are preferably made of a material with good spring properties.
- Fig. 2 shows a spring terminal 1, here an attachable terminal, with a bus bar 2 for contacting an electrical conductor, acting as a compression spring clamping spring 3, which is provided for clamping the electrical conductor 6 in the spring terminal 1, and with a retaining spring 4th
- a holding means 41 is arranged, on which the clamping spring 3 is locked in a latching state R.
- the busbar 2, the clamping spring 3 and the retaining spring 4 are arranged in a terminal housing 12, which is preferably made of an electrically insulating material, in particular of a plastic.

- an insertion opening 11 for insertion of the electrical conductor 6 is provided in the terminal housing 12.
- the illustrated electrical conductor 6 has an electrically insulating sheath 62, which is stripped off above an open end 63 of the electrical conductor 6, so that a core 61 of the electrical conductor 6 is visible.
- the clamping spring 3 has a pivotable about a pivot axis 8 in a pivoting direction 81 clamping leg 32, and a holding leg 31, with which it is supported in particular during pivoting of the clamping leg 32 in a simple and secure manner on the terminal housing 12 (in particular made of plastic).

- the holding leg 32 and the clamping leg 32 are connected to each other via a bend. In this bend engages an advantageous support contour of the terminal housing, which is penetrated here by the axis of rotation 8 and which also serves as a movement limit.
- the clamping leg 32 has an open end 33. In the latching state R, it is locked with its open end 33 against its restoring force with the holding means 41.
- the retaining spring 4 is pivotable about a second pivot axis 9 in and against a second pivoting direction 91. When giving the retaining spring 4, the holding means 41 is pivoted with it against the restoring force of the retaining spring 4. As a result, the position of the holding means 41 shifts about the second pivot axis 9, so that the open end 33 of the clamping leg 32 is unlatched.

- the clamping leg 32 is Edinburghschwenkbar by moving the return means 5 against the pivoting direction S from the clamping state K in the latching state R, so that its open end 33 with the holding means 41 locked again. Then, in the spring terminal 1 previously clamped in the terminal state K electrical conductor 6 of the spring terminal 1 in the latching state R can be removed again.
- the return means 5 is arranged in the latching state R between the clamping spring 3 and the electrical conductor 6. In the clamping state K, it is arranged in the sliding direction S above the clamping leg 32. Therefore, the return means 5 acts in clamping state K befindlichem clamping leg 32nd when moving in the sliding direction S directly on the clamping leg 32, so that the required displacement for pivoting back of the clamping leg 32 is small.
- the return means 5 protrudes in the clamping state K from a terminal housing 12 of the spring terminal 1. This makes it very easily accessible and very easily pressed in the sliding direction S.

It is also apparent that the clamping leg 32 the Return means 5 when pivoting in the pivoting direction 81 against the sliding direction S suppressed. As a result, the return means 5 shifts against the sliding direction S, so that it protrudes from the terminal housing 12 and is easily accessible.
- the clamping leg 32 also has an angle 321 to the sliding direction S. It is conceivable to choose this so that the return means 5 is pressed in the clamping state K against the terminal housing 12 and is clamped self-locking.
- Fig. 2 - to which reference is made - is added to the Fig. 1 (A - e) advantageously supplemented by a sliding sleeve 7, which serves as an insertion aid for the conductor.
- This sliding sleeve 7 is particularly advantageous when a conductor 6 is used with very finely stranded wire or wire or strand arrangement 61.
- the sliding sleeve 7 is guided with a sliding portion 71 slidably in the insertion opening 11 of the housing 12.

- the other end of the retaining spring 4 with the holding means is preferably fixed in a slot of the housing 12.
- the retaining spring 4 can be deflected in its sliding direction S at its end coupled to the actuating lug 74.
- the insulation 61 comes on the tapered portion 73 to the plant.
- the wire arrangement or strand arrangement 62 protrudes from the sliding sleeve 7 in the sliding direction or in the direction of the contact point to be formed.
- the sheathing or insulation 61 pushes the sliding sleeve 7b further in the sliding direction S.
- coupled to the actuating projection 71 retaining spring 4 is deflected, which finally releases the clamping spring 3 with a sufficiently wide insertion of the conductor 6 with the sliding sleeve 7, so that they relax and contact the line core.
- the opening of the terminal point can be analogous to Fig. 2 done with a return means 5. This opening is in Fig. 1 (e) indicated.

Es ist bevorzugt, dass die Haltefeder durch Druck auf die Druckfläche in die zweite Schwenkrichtung verschwenkbar ist.In this case, the retaining spring preferably has a pressure surface, which further preferably extends transversely to the sliding direction. It is preferred that the retaining spring is pivotable by pressure on the pressure surface in the second pivoting direction.
Beim Verschieben des in die Federkraftklemme eingeführten elektrischen Leiters in die Schieberichtung gerät dieser in Kontakt zur Druckfläche. Beim Weiterschieben in die Schieberichtung drückt er auf die Druckfläche. Dadurch wird die Haltefeder in die zweite Schwenkrichtung verschwenkt, so dass der Klemmschenkel vom Haltemittel entrastet und in die Schwenkrichtung verschwenkt wird.When moving the inserted into the spring clamp electrical conductor in the sliding direction of this device comes into contact with the pressure surface. When pushing further in the sliding direction, it presses on the printing surface. As a result, the retaining spring is pivoted in the second pivoting direction, so that the clamping leg is unlocked by the holding means and pivoted in the pivoting direction.
Prinzipiell ist auch eine Druckfläche in einem anderen Winkel zur Schieberichtung denkbar. Das Anordnen der Druckfläche quer zur Schieberichtung ist aufgrund der in dieser Anordnung großen Angriffsfläche für den elektrischen Leiter aber vorteilhaft.In principle, a pressure surface at a different angle to the sliding direction is conceivable. The arrangement of the pressure surface transversely to the sliding direction is due to the large in this arrangement attack surface for the electrical conductor but advantageous.
Um ein freies Verschwenken des Klemmschenkels in und gegen die Schwenkrichtung zu ermöglichen, ist es bevorzugt, dass die Druckfläche in Schieberichtung unterhalb des Haltemittels angeordnet ist.In order to enable a free pivoting of the clamping leg in and against the pivoting direction, it is preferred that the pressure surface is arranged in the sliding direction below the holding means.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist ferner, dass die Federkraftklemme eine Schiebehülse aufweist, die als Einführhilfe für den Leiter dient und die das Einführen derartiger feindrähtiger Leiter, die besonders biegsam sind, deutlich erleichtern.It is also particularly advantageous that the spring-loaded terminal has a sliding sleeve which serves as an insertion aid for the conductor and which facilitate the insertion of such finely stranded conductors, which are particularly flexible.
Nach einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung zeichnet sich die Federkraftklemme dadurch aus, dass sie ein Rückstellmittel umfasst, das zum Zurückschwenken des Klemmschenkels vorgesehen ist. Der Klemmschenkel ist durch Verschieben des Rückstellmittels gegen die Schwenkrichtung vom Klemmzustand in den Rastzustand zurückschwenkbar. Dadurch lässt sich ein in der Federkraftklemme vormals im Klemmzustand verklemmter Leiter der Federkraftklemme im Rastzustand wieder entnehmen.According to an advantageous development, the spring clamp is characterized in that it comprises a return means, which is provided for pivoting back of the clamping leg. The clamping leg is zurückschwenkbar by moving the return means against the pivoting direction of the clamping state in the locking state. As a result, a previously clamped in the spring terminal clamp in the terminal state conductor of the spring terminal in the latching state can be removed again.
Vorzugsweise ragt das Rückstellmittel im Klemmzustand aus einem Klemmengehäuse der Federkraftklemme heraus. Dadurch ist es sehr leicht zugänglich und sehr leicht in die Schieberichtung drückbar. Die Handhabung der Federkraftklemme ist daher für Vollleiter und Litzenleiter in gleicher Weise ausführbar und sehr einfach.Preferably, the return means protrudes in the clamping state of a terminal housing of the spring terminal. This makes it very easily accessible and very easy to push in the sliding direction. The handling of the spring terminal is therefore feasible for full conductors and stranded conductors in the same way and very simple.
Es ist zudem bevorzugt, dass das Rückstellmittel im Klemmzustand zwischen dem Klemmschenkel und dem Klemmengehäuse in diesem verklemmt ist, so dass es sich nicht aus dem Klemmengehäuse löst.It is also preferred that the return means is jammed in the clamping state between the clamping leg and the terminal housing in this, so that it does not come off the terminal housing.
Die Klemmfeder, die Stromschiene und/oder die Haltefeder sind bevorzugt als Stanz-Biegeteile aus Blech, vorzugsweise aus Bandmaterial hergestellt, da dies mit herkömmlichen Verfahren kostengünstig möglich ist.The clamping spring, the busbar and / or the retaining spring are preferably made as stamped and bent parts made of sheet metal, preferably made of strip material, since this is inexpensive possible with conventional methods.
Dabei ist die Stromschiene bevorzugt aus einem elektrisch gut leitenden Werkstoff, insbesondere aus einem kupferhaltigen Metall, hergestellt. Klemmfeder und Haltefeder sind vorzugsweise aus einem Werkstoff mit guten Federeigenschaften gefertigt.In this case, the busbar is preferably made of an electrically highly conductive material, in particular of a copper-containing metal. Clamping spring and retaining spring are preferably made of a material with good spring properties.

An der Haltefeder 4 ist ein Haltemittel 41 angeordnet, an dem die Klemmfeder 3 in einem Rastzustand R verrastet ist.On the retaining
Die Stromschiene 2, die Klemmfeder 3 sowie die Haltefeder 4 sind in einem Klemmengehäuse 12 angeordnet, das bevorzugt aus einem elektrisch isolierenden Werkstoff, insbesondere aus einem Kunststoff hergestellt ist. Im Klemmengehäuse 12 ist eine Einführöffnung 11 zum Einführen des elektrischen Leiters 6 vorgesehen.The
Der dargestellte elektrische Leiter 6 weist eine elektrisch isolierende Ummantelung 62 auf, die oberhalb eines offenen Endes 63 des elektrischen Leiters 6 abisoliert ist, so dass eine Ader 61 des elektrischen Leiters 6 sichtbar ist.The illustrated
Die Klemmfeder 3 weist einen um eine Schwenkachse 8 in eine Schwenkrichtung 81 verschwenkbaren Klemmschenkel 32 auf, sowie einen Halteschenkel 31, mit dem sie sich insbesondere beim Verschwenken des Klemmschenkels 32 auf einfache und sichere Weise am Klemmengehäuse 12 (insbesondere aus Kunststoff) abstützt. Ein metallischer Klemmkäfig ist hier nicht vorgesehen, ist aber optional denkbar. Vorzugsweise sind der Halteschenkel 32 und der Klemmschenkel 32 über eine Biegung miteinander verbunden. In diese Biegung greift eine vorteilhaft Stützkontur des Klemmengehäuses ein, welche hier von der Drehachse 8 durchsetzt ist und welche auch als Bewegungsbegrenzung dient.The clamping
Der Klemmschenkel 32 weist ein offenes Ende 33 auf. Im Rastzustand R ist er mit seinem offenen Ende 33 gegen seine Rückstellkraft mit dem Haltemittel 41 verrastet. Die Haltefeder 4 ist um eine zweite Schwenkachse 9 in und gegen eine zweite Schwenkrichtung 91 verschwenkbar. Beim Verschenken der Haltefeder 4 wird mit ihr das Haltemittel 41 gegen die Rückstellkraft der Haltefeder 4 verschwenkt. Dadurch verschiebt sich die Position des Haltemittels 41 um die zweite Schwenkachse 9, so dass das offene Ende 33 des Klemmschenkels 32 entrastet wird.The clamping
Um die Haltefeder 4 in die zweite Schwenkrichtung 91 zu verschwenken, weist sie eine Druckfläche 42 auf. Die Druckfläche 42 ist quer zur Schieberichtung S bzw. Leitereinführrichtung S vorgesehen. Durch Druck auf die Druckfläche 42 ist die Haltefeder 4 in die zweite Schwenkrichtung 91 verschwenkbar.In order to pivot the retaining
Zwischen der Klemmfeder 3 und der Stromschiene 2 ist ein Freiraum ausgebildet, in dem der elektrische Leiter 6 im Rastzustand R des Klemmschenkels 32 in und gegen die Schieberichtung S frei verschieblich ist.Between the
Beim Verschieben des in die Federkraftklemme 1 eingeführten elektrischen Leiters 6 in die Schieberichtung S in das Gehäuse 11 gerät das offene Ende 63 des elektrischen Leiters 6 in Kontakt zur Druckfläche 42. Beim Weiterschieben in die Schieberichtung S drückt er auf die Druckfläche 42. Dadurch wird die Haltefeder 4 in die zweite Schwenkrichtung 91 verschwenkt. Dabei wird der Klemmschenkel 32 vom Haltemittel 41 entrastet und in die Schwenkrichtung 81 verschwenkt. Die Druckfläche 42 ist in Schieberichtung S unterhalb des Haltemittels 41 angeordnet, so dass ein freies Verschwenken des Klemmschenkels 32 in und gegen die Schwenkrichtung 81 möglich ist.When moving the introduced into the
Die Federkraftklemme 1 umfasst zudem ein Rückstellmittel 5. Das Rückstellmittel 5 ist in und gegen die Schieberichtung S verschieblich. Es ist zum Zurückschwenken des Klemmschenkels 32 gegen die Schwenkrichtung 81 vorgesehen. Dabei ist der Klemmschenkel 32 durch Verschieben des Rückstellmittels 5 gegen die Schwenkrichtung S vom Klemmzustand K in den Rastzustand R zurückschwenkbar, so dass sein offenes Ende 33 mit dem Haltemittel 41 wieder verrastet. Dann lässt sich ein in der Federkraftklemme 1 vormals im Klemmzustand K verklemmter elektrischer Leiter 6 der Federkraftklemme 1 im Rastzustand R wieder entnehmen.The
In der hier gezeigten Ausführungsform ist das Rückstellmittel 5 im Rastzustand R zwischen der Klemmfeder 3 und dem elektrischen Leiter 6 angeordnet. Im Klemmzustand K ist es in Schieberichtung S oberhalb des Klemmschenkels 32 angeordnet. Daher wirkt das Rückstellmittel 5 bei im Klemmzustand K befindlichem Klemmschenkel 32 beim Verschieben in die Schieberichtung S unmittelbar auf den Klemmschenkel 32, so dass der erforderliche Verschiebeweg zum Zurückschwenken des Klemmschenkels 32 klein ist.In the embodiment shown here, the return means 5 is arranged in the latching state R between the clamping
Sichtbar ist, dass das Rückstellmittel 5 im Klemmzustand K aus einem Klemmengehäuse 12 der Federkraftklemme 1 herausragt. Dadurch ist es sehr leicht zugänglich und sehr leicht in die Schieberichtung S drückbar. Zum Betätigen des Rückstellmittels weist dieses eine Betätigungsnut auf, die ein Betätigen mit einem Werkzeug wie beispielsweise einem Schraubendreher vereinfacht. Zudem ist das Rückstellmittel 5 im Klemmzustand K zwischen dem Klemmschenkel 32 und dem Klemmengehäuse 12 in diesem verklemmt, so dass es sich nicht aus dem Klemmengehäuse 12 löst.It is visible that the return means 5 protrudes in the clamping state K from a

Die Schiebehülse 7 ist mit einem Schiebeabschnitt 71 verschieblich in der Einführöffnung 11 des Gehäuses 12 geführt. Sowohl die Schiebehülse 7 als auch die Einführöffnung 11 weisen in diesem Bereich korrespondierende Schiebekonturen auf, so dass die Schiebehülse 7 mit einem Schiebeabschnitt in die Einführöffnung 11 gut verschieblich ist.The sliding
Die Schiebekonturen können nach einer bevorzugten - aber nicht zwingend - Ausgestaltung korrespondierende rechteckige, z.B. quadratische, Querschnitte (siehe
Die Schiebehülse 7 weist ferner eine eigene Durchführöffnung 72 auf, in welche der in seinem Endbereich abisolierte elektrische Leiter 6 einsetzbar ist. Diese Durchführöffnung 72 verjüngt sich derart, dass bei Leitern 6 eines geeigneten Druckmessers, deren Isolierung (ein wenig) größer ist als der Durchmesser der Durchführöffnung 72 in dem verengten Abschnitt, zwar die Aderanordnung 62, nicht aber die Isolierung bzw. Ummantelung 61 im eingesetzten Zustand aus der Schiebehülse 7 in Schieberichtung S vorstehen können. Die Ummantelung 61 liegt vielmehr im eingesetzten Zustand des Leiters auf dem sich verjüngenden Bereich 73 in Schieberichtung auf und kann derart beim fortgesetzten Bewegen des Leiters 6 in Schieberichtung S die Schiebehülse in Schieberichtung S vorschieben.The sliding
Die Schiebehülse weist zudem an in Verlängerung des Schiebeabschnittes 71 einen stegartigen Betätigungsansatz 74 auf, der sich bis zur Haltefeder 4 erstreckt und der an seinem Ende direkt oder im Bereich eines Quersteges 75 mit der Haltefeder 4 gekoppelt ist. Hier ist diese Kopplung dadurch realisiert, dass ein Ende der Haltefeder in einen Schlitz 76 des Betätigungsansatzes 74, hier des Querstegs 75, eingreift. Das andere Ende der Haltefeder 4 mit dem Haltemittel ist vorzugsweise in einem Schlitz des Gehäuses 12 festgelegt. Die Haltefeder 4 ist kann an ihrem mit dem Betätigungsansatz 74 gekoppelten Ende derart in Schieberichtung S ausgelenkt werden.The sliding sleeve also has in extension of the sliding portion 71 a web-
Die Funktion dieser Anordnung ist wie folgt.The function of this arrangement is as follows.
Beim Einführen des abisolierten Leiterendes kommt die Isolierung 61 auf dem sich verjüngenden Bereich 73 zur Anlage. In diesem Zustand steht die Aderanordnung bzw. Litzenanordnung 62 aus der Schiebehülse 7 in Schieberichtung bzw. in Richtung der zu bildenden Kontaktstelle vor. Beim weiteren Einführen des Leiters 6 drückt die Ummantelung bzw. Isolierung 61 die Schiebehülse 7b weiter in Schieberichtung S vor. Hierdurch wird die mit dem Betätigungsansatz 71 gekoppelte Haltefeder 4 ausgelenkt, die schließlich bei einem genügend weiten Einführen des Leiters 6 mit der Schiebehülse 7 die Klemmfeder 3 freigibt, so dass sich diese entspannen und die Leitungsader kontaktieren kann.When inserting the stripped conductor end, the

Die Stromschiene 102, die Klemmfeder 103 sowie die Haltefeder 104 sind in einem Klemmengehäuse nach Art der
Die Klemmfeder 103 weist einen um eine Schwenkachse 108 in eine Schwenkrichtung 181 verschwenkbaren Klemmschenkel 132 auf, sowie einen Halteschenkel 131, mit dem sie sich insbesondere beim Verschwenken des Klemmschenkels 132 auf einfache und sichere Weise an einem metallischen Klemmkäfig abstützt, der hier mit der der Stromschiene 10 einstückig ausgebildet ist. Vorzugsweise sind der Halteschenkel 131 und der Klemmschenkel 132 über eine Biegung 130 miteinander verbunden. In diese Biegung 130 greift eine vorteilhafte Stützkontur des Klemmengehäuses 112 ein, welche hier von der Drehachse 108 durchsetzt ist und welche auch als Bewegungsbegrenzung dient (siehe hierzu
Der Klemmschenkel 132 weist ein offenes Ende 133 auf. Im Rastzustand R ist er mit seinem offenen Ende 133 gegen seine Rückstellkraft mit dem Haltemittel 141 verrastet.The clamping
Die Federkraftklemme 101 umfasst zudem ein Rückstellmittel 105. Das Rückstellmittel 105 ist in und gegen die Schieberichtung 107 verschieblich. Es ist zum Zurückschwenken des Klemmschenkels 132 gegen die Schwenkrichtung 181 vorgesehen. Dabei ist der Klemmschenkel 132 durch Verschieben des Rückstellmittels 105 gegen die Schwenkrichtung 107 vom Klemmzustand K in den Rastzustand R zurückschwenkbar, so dass sein offenes Ende 133 mit dem Haltemittel 141 wieder verrastet. Dann lässt sich ein in der Federkraftklemme 101 vormals im Klemmzustand K verklemmter elektrischer Leiter 106 der Federkraftklemme 101 im Rastzustand R wieder entnehmen.The
In der hier gezeigten Ausführungsform ist das Rückstellmittel 105 im Rastzustand R zwischen der Klemmfeder 103 und dem elektrischen Leiter angeordnet. Im Klemmzustand K ist es in Schieberichtung 107 oberhalb des Klemmschenkels 132 angeordnet. Daher wirkt das Rückstellmittel 105 bei im Klemmzustand K befindlichem Klemmschenkel 132 beim Verschieben in die Schieberichtung 107 unmittelbar auf den Klemmschenkel 132, so dass der erforderliche Verschiebeweg zum Zurückschwenken des Klemmschenkels 132 klein ist.In the embodiment shown here, the return means 105 is arranged in the latching state R between the clamping
Vorteilhaft ist wiederum, dass das Rückstellmittel 105 im Klemmzustand K aus einem Klemmengehäuse 112 der Federkraftklemme 11 herausragt. Dadurch ist es sehr leicht zugänglich und sehr leicht in die Schieberichtung 107 drückbar. Zum Betätigen des Rückstellmittels weist dieses eine Betätigungsnut 151 auf, die ein Betätigen mit einem Werkzeug wie beispielsweise einem Schraubendreher vereinfacht. Zudem ist das Rückstellmittel 105 im Klemmzustand K zwischen dem Klemmschenkel 132 und dem Klemmengehäuse in diesem verklemmt, so dass es sich nicht aus dem Klemmengehäuse löst.It is again advantageous that the return means 105 protrudes in the clamping state K from a terminal housing 112 of the

Sichtbar ist, dass das offene Ende 133 des Klemmschenkels 103 bei dieser Ausführungsform der Federkraftklemme 101 ohne den eingesteckten Leiter 106 an einer Rastnase 121 der Stromschiene 102 anliegt. Die Stromschiene 102 dieser Ausführungsform ist Teil eines Klemmkäfigs 120, der z.B. in U-Form gebogen ist.Shown is in (a) the clamping state K of the
Bei nicht in die Federkraftklemme 101 eingestecktem Leiter 106 ist das Rückstellmittel 105 im Klemmzustand K weit mittels des Klemmschenkels 132 gegen die Schieberichtung 107 verschoben, so dass es sehr leicht von außen zugänglich ist.When not inserted into the

An den Schwenkschenkel 143 schließt sich auch bei dieser Ausführungsform die Druckfläche 142 an. Zudem ist auch hier das Haltemittel 141 am Schwenkschenkel 143 angeordnet, so dass es in Schieberichtung 107 vor der Druckfläche 142 positioniert ist. Das Haltemittel ist gegenüber dem Stand der Technik der
Das Haltemittel 141 ist durch eine Rastkante gebildet, die an einem seitlich am Schwenkschenkel 143 angeformten Halteflügel 410 angeordnet ist.

Beim Zurückschwenken des Schwenkschenkels 143 wird der Klemmschenkel 132 hinter der Rastkante 141 verrastet. Die Federkraftklemme 101 befindet sich dann im Rastzustand R. Dies zeigt die
Die Geometrie dieser Ausführungsform der Haltefeder 104 hat eine selbsthemmende Wirkung, so dass die Klemmfeder 103 vom Haltemittel 141 der Haltefeder 104 auch unter starken Vibrationseinflüssen sicher gehalten ist. Vorzugsweise weist dazu eine Rastkante 410' an einem oder mehreren Halteflügeln 410 des Haltemittels relativ zur Leitereinführrichtung bzw.
