Abstract: A ground conductor terminal includes a terminal body containing two internal terminals, a bent plate which at one end is in electrical contact with the terminals, and a generally U-shaped spring which extends behind a second end of the bent plate at the base of the ground conductor terminal and which can snap fit onto a mounting rail so as to detachably connect the ground conductor terminal to the mounting rail.

Abstract: An electrical connection terminal has a foot with two oppositely directed fingers, the underside of which has a receiving claw and a U-shaped extension with an inwardly open mouth-like recess for engaging the side flanges of a carrier rail, as well as a screw for clamping the recess. The U-shaped extension is wider than the carrier rail, such that the screw passes through externally of the carrier rail. A resiliently deformable element is arranged in the mouth-like recess which at least temporarily holds the terminal fast on the carrier rail.

Abstract: The self-stripping electrical terminal includes a casing in which a conductive connector member in form of a U-shaped profile as well as two contact members are located which are pivotable in latter about pivot axes. The conductors which are to be mounted to the terminal can be inserted through lateral openings in the casing into the connector member. Each contact member includes at a radial distance from its pivot axis forked contact parts projecting approximately in the direction of the circle described by the pivoting movement, which contact parts cooperate to cut the insulation of a wire during their pivoting movement and simultaneously push the insulation away and come into the desired conductive contact with the wire.
