Abstract
An assembly for contacting an electrical conductor includes a clamping spring which acts as a pressure spring for fixing an electrical conductor in a spring-force clamp and a retaining spring for locking the clamping spring in an open position such that the conductor can be introduced into a contact region in a shifting direction. The clamping spring touches the retaining spring along a contact surface in a locked state and during movement from the locking state into a unlocking state. A lubricant-containing coating is arranged on at least the contact surface.
