Abstract
A screwless connecting terminal, in particular a modular terminal, is described. The terminal has a conductor rail situated in a terminal housing, an insulation-piercing connection connected in an electrically conductive fashion with the conductor rail, and between whose cutting edges, which face one another, an electrical conductor can be contacted that can be introduced into the terminal housing via a housing lead-through. An insulation-piercing contacting of the immovably positioned conductor takes place through a translational movement of the insulation-piercing connection along the conductor rail in a longitudinal direction of the rail. At least one bead is formed in at least one clamp limb of the insulation-piercing connection.
