Patent attributes
A clamping spring for a screwless connection terminal for clamping a conductor, has a clamping limb, a contact limb, and a tensioning limb, the tensioning limb being connected to the clamping limb and the contact limb, and the clamping limb and the contact limb being designed as intersecting limbs. In the clamping limb, a clamping opening is provided, through which the contact limb extends, such that the contact limb is in contact with an edge of the clamping opening remote from the tensioning limb in a pretensioned manner and an exposed wire end of a conductor can be clamped with the contact limb onto a contact surface of a contact element of a screwless connection terminal. Furthermore, the clamping limb has a clamping extension having a clamping surface. The clamping extension, starting from the free end of the clamping limb remote from the tensioning limb, initially extends away from the tensioning limb, then extends back in the direction of the tensioning limb in a substantially curved form, and finally is oriented in the direction of the contact limb.
