Problems solved by technology

However, the disadvantage of such screw terminals is that the stripped conductors cannot be easily screwed in directly from above
Especially for larger and solid conductors, this makes assembly difficult, since the conductor has to be bent and inserted axially from the front into the screw terminal before the conductor can be clamped

Embodiment Construction

[0043] figure 1 A schematic perspective view of an electrical connection terminal 100 comprising an inserted cable 125 having a plurality of conductors 126 is shown. Here, a tool 120 in the form of a screwdriver is inserted into the lever 103 of the electrical terminal 100 in order to switch the electrical terminal 100 into the clamped state 145 .

[0044] In the clamped state 145 ( Figure 10 ), the clamping rod 102 clamps the inserted conductor 106 towards the current bar 110 . The current bar 110 is accommodated on a support 108 which may be surrounded by a plastic casing not shown in the figures. The connection terminal 100 can be designed as a terminal block.

[0045] The clamping lever 102 is rotatably accommodated on the bracket 108 via a shaft 111 . The pin 136 of the clamping spring 101 rests on the shaft 111 (see Figure 7 ).

[0046] Joystick 103 has (see figure 2 ) tool opening 109. A first shaft 130 and a second shaft 131 are arranged on the joystick. Ar...

Abstract

A connection terminal for connecting, in an electrically contacting manner, to at least one conductor includes a current bar held on a mount. The current bar connects to the at least one conductor. The connection terminal also includes an actuation lever, a clamping spring, and a slotted guide. The slotted guide has at least one closure slot and a clamping slot that branches off transversely therefrom. The actuation lever is movably guided in the slotted guide by a first pin and a second pin.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electrical terminal and a method of connecting a wire to the terminal. Background technique [0002] Various terminal blocks suitable for connecting wires of different diameters are known in the prior art. For example, conductors with larger cross-sections can be connected to screw terminals. In this case, the conductor is clamped to the electrical terminal by means of a threaded connection. However, a disadvantage of such screw terminals is that the stripped conductors cannot be easily screwed in directly from above. Especially for larger and solid conductors, this makes assembly more difficult, since the conductor has to be bent and inserted axially from the front into the screw terminal before the conductor can be clamped. [0003] Assembly is easier than with an electrical terminal which enables the wires to be connected to be screwed in from above. In this case, the wires to be connected can be shortened to a suitab...
