Publication number: 20220416449Abstract: A spring-loaded terminal is designed as a direct plug-in terminal for connecting a conductor. The terminal includes a busbar for contacting the conductor, a clamping spring for retaining the electrical conductor in the terminal, and a retaining spring for latching the clamping spring in an open position so that the conductor can be inserted into a contact area. The clamping spring has a pivotable clamping leg and a clamping edge. The retaining spring has a pivotable pivoting leg having at least one retaining device as a first latching device. The clamping leg has a corresponding latching device cooperating with the retaining device of the pivoting leg in a latching state of the clamping leg. The clamping leg is adjustable from the latching state by displacing the electrical conductor into a clamping state in which the clamping leg is unlatched from the retaining device and presses the electrical conductor with the clamping edge of the clamping leg against the busbar.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 26, 2020Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Stephan FEHLING, Walter HANNING, Michael HERRMANN, Heike SCHMIDTPOTT, Andreas RUTZ, Michael LENSCHEN, Karlo STJEPANOVIC
