Abstract
A contact spring arrangement includes a carrier structure which has a support wall made of a conductive material. A contact spring has a base limb, held in a fixed position with respect to the support wall, and a clamping limb which, together with the support wall, forms a plug socket narrowing in the insertion direction for a core of an electrical conductor. A release member is guided displaceably in a guide body in the insertion direction with respect to the support wall and has an actuation arm which, in a release position, engages on a flank of the clamping limb facing towards the plug socket and holds the clamping limb, counter to the spring force, in a position bent back towards the base limb. The carrier structure forms a stop which limits the range of movement of the release member in the insertion direction.
