Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2768079A1] The terminal (1) has a conductor rail (2) for contacting an electrical conductor (6), and a clamp spring (3) i.e. compression spring, for fixing the electrical conductor in the terminal. The spring includes clamping limbs pivotable around a pivot axis (8) in a pivot direction (81). The limbs are adjustable in a locking condition (R) in which the limbs are locked at a holding unit, by displacing the electrical conductor in a clamping condition. A reset unit (5) realigns the limbs by displacing the reset unit against the pivot direction from the clamping condition into the locking condition. The reset unit is protruded out from a clamp housing in the clamping condition. The clamp spring, a conductor rail and/or a holding spring are formed as blank-bending parts made of sheet metal.
