Abstract: A terminal (1) for connection of an electrical conductor (2) without stripping, having at least one conductor insertion area (13) for inserting an electrical conductor (2), insulated with an insulating material, into the terminal (1) in a conductor insertion direction. The terminal (1) has, for each conductor insertion area (13), an actuating part (50) and an insulation-piercing contact (30) having a cutting edge (33) for cutting through the insulating material and establishing electrical contact with the electrical conductor (2). The cutting edge (33) extends about an axis of rotation along an arc. By rotating the actuating part (50) about the axis the insulation-piercing contact (30) moves between a contacting position, in which the cutting edge (33) intersects the conductor insertion area (13) for establishing electrical contact with an inserted electrical conductor (2), and a release position, in which the cutting edge (33) clears the conductor insertion area.

Abstract: The invention relates to a terminal (1), in particular an installation terminal, for connection of an electrical conductor (2) without stripping, having at least one conductor insertion area (13) for inserting an electrical conductor (2), insulated with an insulating material, into the terminal (1) in a conductor insertion direction, wherein the terminal (1) furthermore has, for each conductor insertion area (13), an actuating part (50), which is rotatable about an axis of rotation, and an insulation-piercing contact (30) having a cutting edge (33) for cutting through the insulating material and establishing electrical contact with the electrical conductor (2), wherein the cutting edge (33) extends about the axis of rotation along an arc, wherein the insulation-piercing contact (30) is connected to the actuating part (50) in such a way that, via a rotation of the actuating part (50) about the axis of rotation, the insulation-piercing contact (30) is movable between a contacting position, in which the cutting
