  • Patent number: 11509074
    Abstract: A spring-force terminal connection for connecting a conductor includes: a bus bar; a clamping spring by which the conductor to be connected is clamped against the bus bar when in a clamped state; a pivotably arranged actuation lever, the clamping spring being actuatable by a pivoting movement of the actuation lever; and a clamping cage, which forms a space for accommodating the conductor to be connected. The clamping spring includes a leaf spring and has a first end section forming a clamping region and a second end section opposite the first end section and forming a holding region. The clamping spring is fastened to the clamping cage by the second end section.
