Patent attributes
An electrical terminal includes an insulating housing, a conductor bar, strain-relief clamp connections and actuating elements located in the insulating housing for opening and closing the strain-relief clamp connections. The electrical terminal enables simple manual opening of the clamping site even when the strain-relief clamp connection is designed for leads with large cross section since the actuation element is made as an actuating cam that is eccentrically supported in the insulating housing. The actuating cam can be pivoted by an actuating tool out of a first position in which the strain-relief clamp connection is closed into a second position in which the strain-relief clamp connection is opened so that an electric lead can be inserted between the conductor bar and a through opening in the strain relief clamp connection.
