Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0335093A2] In a housing (1, 2), for example of an electrical installation apparatus, there is a retaining space (3) for the insertion of an electrical conductor (4) which is to be connected and which is inserted through a hole (5) in the housing. A boundary of the retaining space (3) is formed by an electrical contact piece (6) against which the electrical conductor (4) is pressed by means of a V-shaped leaf spring (7) having identical limbs. An operating device (10) is used for forcing back the leaf spring (7), which operating device extends on both sides of the contact piece (6) into the retaining space (3) for the electrical conductor (4) with two parallel limbs (11, 12) which are constructed on one end. The two limbs (11, 12) are constructed offset in the form of a step on the end, so that in the case of both limbs there is an inwardly turning stepped shoulder (13) against which the clamping edge (8) of the leaf spring (7) rests. On insertion of the electrical conductor (4), the leaf spring end executes a curved pivoting movement, the limbs (11, 12) of the operating device (10), which are in driven engagement with the clamping edge (8) of the leaf spring (7), executing the same movement in the insertion direction of the electrical conductor and inwards, so that the operating device (10) then assumes an oblique position in order in this way to indicate in a visually identifiable manner the correctly completed connection of the electrical conductor (4). <IMAGE>
