Abstract: The invention concerns a terminal for the connection of electrical conductors with a fixed current carrying strip using a movable clamping spring. The clamping spring is mounted to be movable in the nature of a plunger and contacts the electrical conductor and the current strip simultaneously, and is arranged so that insulated conductors and conductors with the insulation removed can be connected, and the forces for moving the clamping spring are nevertheless able to remain relatively low. The plunger has clamping arms which engage the conductor in the manner of a fork, and an end portion of the plunger contacts the current carrying strip. The conductor is located in a seating which surrounds the conductor.
