Abstract
An electrical connecting device with a housing, with terminals for insulated conductors, with at least one conductor bar, with at least two actuating elements and with at least two insulation piercing elements, the actuating elements being arranged to be able to turn relative to the insulation piercing elements and each having a conductor receiver for the conductors to be connected. The insulation piercing elements establish electrical contact of a conductor which has been inserted into the conductor receiver to the conductor bar, when the actuating element is pivoted out of a first position, in which the conductor can be inserted into the conductor receiver into a second position. By the conductor receiver being able to have at least two insulated conductors can be inserted therein, the possible applications are further enhanced, and the dimensions of the connecting device can be as small as possible.
