Patent attributes
A spring-loaded clamping connection (1) for clamping electrical conductors, having a clamping spring (2) and having a bus bar (6) is described. The clamping spring (2) has a contact limb (3), a spring arc (4) adjoining said contact limb (3), and a clamping limb (5) adjoining the spring arc (4). The clamping limb (5) has a clamping edge (12) for forming a clamping point with the adjacent bus bar (6) for a conductor to be clamped. The spring-loaded clamping connection (1) also has a frame element (7), which is formed as a part separate from the clamping spring (2) and the bus bar (6) and which has a base portion (10), a curved portion (9) adjoining the base portion (10), and a retaining portion (8) adjoining said curved portion (9) and distanced from the base portion (10). The contact limb (3) of the clamping spring (2) is secured to the retaining portion (8). The retaining portion (8) extends in the projection of the extension direction of the contact limb (3). The curved portion (9) limits, behind the clamping point in the insertion direction (L) of a conductor to be clamped, a conductor-accommodating space (14) for accommodating a free end of the electrical conductor. The base portion (10) extends from the curved portion (9) toward the free end of the base portion (10) counter to the insertion direction (L) of an electrical conductor to be clamped.
