A spring-force connection having a housing part, a pivot lever, an electrically conductive connecting device and a contact spring by means of which a conductor (L) can apply force to the connecting device. The contact spring can be pivoted between release and clamping positions and has a pressing and a clamping limb, connected to the pressing limb using a bending joint. The pivot lever has a driver and the pressing limb is arranged between the pressing device and the driver in the closed position of the pivot lever and, by pivoting the pivot lever into its closed position, the pressing device can indirectly apply force to the pressing limb so that the contact spring is pivoted into its clamping position, so that the conductor applies force to the connecting device with the clamping limb and, by pivoting the pivot lever into its open position, the driver can indirectly apply force to the pressing limb so that the contact spring is pivoted into its release position.

Spring-force connection and round plug-in connector with a large number of spring-force connections

The disclosure relates to a connection module, including a plurality of connections for functional elements and a plurality of operating indicators. At least one of the operating indicators has a display element, and the display element has a base, which is disposed as a light guide and which has a light in-coupling surface and a light out-coupling surface.

Connection module with light display

The disclosure relates to a contact carrier including an electrical contact and a contact arm which is connected to the electrical contact in an electrically conducting manner. The contact arm includes a tolerance-compensating portion and a contact base formed on the tolerance-compensating portion for electrically contacting the electrical contact with a contact surface.
