Patent attributes
A spring-operated plug terminal is disclosed. The spring-operated plug terminal includes a U- or Ω-shaped spring, which has two separate spring arms and thus two spring ends, and a rectangular terminal frame, which has a square cutout and a clamping piece which is angled away from the plane of the terminal frame. One fixed end of the spring is arranged in a fixed position in the cutout and the two ends of the spring arms, together with the clamping piece of the terminal frame, form a clamping zone for two conductor cores and/or flat plug to be connected. Each spring end includes a central, straight first section, in the form of a clamping edge, for making inter-engaging contact with a conductor core. Further, each spring end includes an edge-side, curved second section which forms a clamping surface. The clamping surface protrudes beyond the clamping edge in the direction of termination, so that contact can be made with a flat plug simply by applying pressure.
