Patent attributes
A conductor terminal includes at least one insulating-material housing, at least one contact insert arranged at least partially in the insulating-material housing that has at least one contact piece and at least one clamping spring. The contact piece with the clamping spring forms at least one conductor clamping point for an electrical conductor to be contacted by the conductor terminal, which electrical conductor can be acted upon by a spring force of the clamping spring. At least one actuating lever is pivotably supported in the insulating-material housing for actuating the clamping spring. The actuating lever can be pivoted from a closed position to an open position and vice versa in relation to the insulating-material housing and/or the contact piece. An electrical conductor inserted into the conductor terminal is not acted upon by the spring force of the clamping spring at the conductor clamping point at least in the open position.
