Publication number: 20130029537Abstract: An electrical connection device for connecting at least one stripped conductor end, having a bus bar piece and a clamping spring which compresses an insert conductor end, the bus bar piece having a conductor through opening and a contact section which borders the conductor through opening and extends in the conductor through direction, the clamping spring forming a spring force clamping connection for the electrical conductor. The bus bar piece of the connection device requires less material use since the contact section has two side walls which extend in the longitudinal direction of the bus bar piece, are connected integrally to the bus bar piece and the contact section, and the side walls have a maximum extension in the longitudinal direction of the bus bar piece which is smaller than the longitudinal extension of the conductor through opening.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2012Publication date: January 31, 2013Applicant: PHOENIX CONTACT GMBH & CO.
