Abstract

Die vorliegende Erfindung offenbart eine Leiteranschlussklemme (1), mit einem Gehäuse (10) mit einem über eine Leitereinführöffnung (11) zugänglichen Leiteraufnahmeraum (12) zur Aufnahme eines elektrischen Leiters (L), wobei der Leiter (L) in einer Leitereinsteckrichtung (R) in den Leiteraufnahmeraum (12) einführbar ist, mit einem im Leiteraufnahmeraum (12) angeordneten Strombalken (20) zur Kontaktierung eines über die Leitereinführöffnung (11) in den Leiteraufnahmeraum (12) eingeführten elektrischen Leiters (L), mit einer im Gehäuse (10) angeordneten Klemmfeder (30) mit einem Anlageschenkel (31) und einem mit diesem über ein Biegegelenk (33) verbundenen Klemmschenkel (32), wobei die Klemmfeder (30) zwischen einer Freigabestellung, in der ein elektrischer Leiter (L) in den Leiteraufnahmeraum (12) ein- und/oder ausführbar ist, und einer Klemmstellung, in der der Klemmschenkel (32) einen im Leiteraufnahmeraum (12) eingeführten elektrischen Leiter (L) in Richtung des Strombalkens (20) kraftbeaufschlagt, betätigbar ist, und mit einem Betätigungselement (40) mit einem Handhabungsabschnitt (41) und einem mit dem Klemmschenkel (32) in Kontakt bringbaren Druckabschnitt (42), wobei das Betätigungselement (40) parallel zur Leitereinsteckrichtung (R) zwischen einer Klemmposition und einer Freigabeposition verschiebbar ist, und wobei durch Überführen des Betätigungselements (40) von dessen Klemmposition in dessen Freigabeposition der Klemmschenkel (32) mittels des Druckabschnitts (42) kraftbeaufschlagt und die Klemmfeder (30) von deren Klemmstellung in deren Freigabestellung überführt wird, wobei die Leiteranschlussklemme (1) dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass das Betätigungselement (40) eine Aufnahmetasche (43) zur Aufnahme der Klemmfeder (30) aufweist.The present invention discloses a conductor connection terminal (1), having a housing (10) with a conductor receiving space (12) accessible via a conductor insertion opening (11) for receiving an electrical conductor (L), the conductor (L) being in a conductor insertion direction (R). can be inserted into the conductor receiving space (12), with a current bar (20) arranged in the conductor receiving space (12) for contacting an electrical conductor (L) inserted into the conductor receiving space (12) via the conductor insertion opening (11), with a in the housing (10) arranged clamping spring (30) with a contact leg (31) and a clamping leg (32) connected to this via a bending joint (33), the clamping spring (30) being between a release position in which an electrical conductor (L) enters the conductor receiving space (12 ) can be inserted and/or removed, and a clamping position in which the clamping leg (32) applies force to an electrical conductor (L) inserted into the conductor receiving space (12) in the direction of the current bar (20), and can be actuated, and with an actuating element (40 ) with a handling section (41) and a pressure section (42) which can be brought into contact with the clamping leg (32), the actuating element (40) being displaceable parallel to the conductor insertion direction (R) between a clamping position and a release position, and wherein by transferring the actuating element (40) from its clamping position to its release position, the clamping leg (32) is subjected to force by means of the pressure section (42) and the clamping spring (30) is transferred from its clamping position to its release position, the conductor connection terminal (1) being characterized in that the actuating element ( 40) has a receiving pocket (43) for receiving the clamping spring (30).
