Abstract
A terminal for connecting an electrical conductor includes a housing, a current bar arranged in the housing, a clamping spring arranged in the housing for clamping the conductor to be connected against the current bar in a conductor connection space formed between the current bar and the clamping spring, and an actuation element, which is displaceably mounted in the housing, wherein a clamping leg of the clamping spring can be actuated by means of the actuation element in order to transfer the clamping leg from a clamping position into an open position. The clamping leg has at least one skid, which with at least one pressure face formed on the actuation element, interacts during transfer of the clamping leg from the clamping position into the open position in such a way that the clamping leg slides along the at least one pressure face with the at least one skid.
