Abstract: A conductor connection contact element for clamping an electrical conductor, having a power rail piece and a clamping spring. The power rail piece is formed from a sheet-metal part with an oppositely situated second side wall, a base section and an oppositely situated cover section. The side walls, together with the base section and the cover section, border a conductor insertion channel. The clamping spring is arranged on the power rail piece. The clamping spring has an abutment section and a clamping section with a clamping edge for clamping the electrical conductor. The abutment section is arranged on the base section of the power rail piece. The freely movable end of the clamping section extends toward the cover section. An actuation section which is accessible to an actuation tool lies adjacent to the clamping edge in the direction of the side wall.
Abstract: A conductor connection clamp is described that comprises a housing that is embodied from an insulating material and comprises at least one resilient force clamping connector in the housing that is embodied from an insulating material, and also comprises at least one actuating element that is received in a pivotable manner in the housing that is embodied from an insulating material, said actuating element being designed so as to open in each case at least one allocated resilient force clamping connector. The actuating element comprises two lever arm sections that are spaced apart from one another and protrude at least in part with a pivot bearing region into the housing that is embodied from an insulating material and are connected one to the other spaced apart with respect to the pivot bearing region by a transverse connecting piece to a lever arm.
