Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2019174982A1] The invention relates to a spring force terminal (1), in particular a direct plug-in terminal, for connecting a conductor (10) which can be designed as a flexible stranded conductor, having at least the following features: a housing (3) with a chamber (4) and a plug-in channel (5) for the conductor into the chamber (4), a busbar (8) and/or a clamping cage (13), and a clamping spring (7) which is arranged in the chamber (4) and acts as a compression spring for fixing the electric conductor (10) on the busbar (8) and/or the clamping cage (13) in the region of a clamping point (K), wherein the clamping spring (7) has a clamping limb (7b) that can be pivoted about a pivot axis and can be adjusted from a latching state (R), in which the clamping limb is latched in a latching position, into a clamping state (K), in which the clamping limb is unlatched out of the latching state and pushes the electric conductor (10) against the busbar (8) or the clamping cage (13), and the latching state is produced by pressure acting on the clamping limb (11) in a conductor plug-in direction using a pusher (11). The clamping limb (7b) can be released from the latching state (R) using two differently actuatable adjustment means. The second trigger element (12) is designed to release the pusher (11) out of the latching position and thereby also release the clamping limb (7b) out of the latching state (R), said trigger element (12) being designed and arranged in the chamber (4) laterally of the pusher (11) such that the trigger element acts on the pusher perpendicularly to the conductor plug-in direction (X) or substantially perpendicularly to the conductor plug-in direction (X) in order to release the pusher out of the latching position.
