摘要： A spring-loaded terminal is designed as a direct plug-in terminal for connecting a conductor. The terminal includes a busbar for contacting the conductor, a clamping spring for retaining the electrical conductor in the terminal, and a retaining spring for latching the clamping spring in an open position so that the conductor can be inserted into a contact area. The clamping spring has a pivotable clamping leg and a clamping edge. The retaining spring has a pivotable pivoting leg having at least one retaining device as a first latching device. The clamping leg has a corresponding latching device cooperating with the retaining device of the pivoting leg in a latching state of the clamping leg. The clamping leg is adjustable from the latching state by displacing the electrical conductor into a clamping state in which the clamping leg is unlatched from the retaining device and presses the electrical conductor with the clamping edge of the clamping leg against the busbar. The latching device of the clamping leg is spaced from the clamping edge of the clamping leg.

摘要： A spring terminal, in particular a direct plug-in terminal, for connecting a conductor such as a flexible stranded conductor includes a housing with a chamber and an insertion channel for inserting the conductor into the chamber. A busbar and/or a clamping cage are arranged in the housing and a clamping spring is arranged in the chamber and acts as a pressure spring. The clamping spring includes a clamping limb, said clamping limb releasable out of a latching state by a pusher having a latching edge on which the pusher can be latched in the interior of the housing on a latching hook of the busbar or another element arranged in the housing in a latching state. The pusher holds the clamping spring in a latched manner in the open position, wherein the latching edge of the pusher can be released from the latching state by an opposite movement.

摘要： An electrical plug connector with a plug end surface which is provided for connecting the electrical plug connector to a mating plug connector includes an electrical contact for connecting an electrical conductor to the electrical plug connector. The plug connector includes a spring cage having a clamping spring acting as a pressure spring and a busbar contact region opposite the clamping spring. The plug connector further includes a single-part or multipart connection housing designed to accommodate the contact and to latch the clamping spring in a latching state in an open position. The latching and open position can be brought out of engagement by inserting the conductor. The plug connector further includes a release element which is provided for releasing the electrical conductor from the contact so that the conductor can be removed from the plug connector. The release element is integrated in the plug connector.
