  • Patent number: 11888276
    Abstract: A conductor terminal, including at least one spring-force clamping connection for connecting an electrical conductor, the spring-force clamping connection having a busbar and a clamping spring, The clamping spring having a clamping leg, which, together with the busbar, forms a clamping point for the electrical conductor, and including an actuating element, the actuating element having a displaceably supported contact part, and the clamping point being able to be opened by a pushing movement of the contact part oriented in the direction of the clamping leg, the actuating element including an actuating part, rotatably supported around a first rotation axis and coupled with the contact part, by means of which the pushing movement of the contact part may be generated with the aid of a rotational movement of the actuating part.

  • Patent number: 10665965
    Abstract: A conductor terminal having at least one insulating material housing; at least one contact insert arranged at least partially in the housing and having at least one contact piece and at least one clamping spring. The contact piece, together with the clamping spring, forms at least one conductor clamping point for an electrical conductor to be contacted via the conductor terminal, which electrical conductor can be acted upon by a spring force of the clamping spring. At least one actuating lever is pivotably supported in the housing for actuating the clamping spring. The actuating lever can be pivoted from a closed position to an open position and vice versa in relation to the housing and/or the contact piece and an electrical conductor inserted into the conductor terminal is not acted upon by the spring force of the clamping spring at the conductor clamping point at least in the open position.
