Abstract
A cable terminal for mechanically retaining and electrically connecting a cable comprises a two-piece housing having a first housing shell and a second housing shell, and a clamping device adapted to receive the cable. The clamping device defines a longitudinal axis and comprises at least two pairs of deforming elements arranged opposite each other. The deforming elements of a first of the pairs are arranged opposite each other in a clamping direction which is different from a clamping direction in which the deforming elements of a second of the pairs are arranged opposite each other. The first and the second pairs are arranged in sequence along the longitudinal axis.
