Terminal having an operating lever pivotably supported about a rotational axis

Abstract

The invention relates to a terminal (), comprising at least one bus bar piece (), at least one clamping spring (), which is bent into a U shape and has a clamping section () that points at an angle in the direction of an associated bus bar piece section () of the bus bar piece () and forms a clamping point for an electrical conductor to be connected with a free clamping end and with the bus bar piece section () in order to form a spring force clamping connection (), an insulating-material housing (), which has at least one conductor insertion opening () that leads to an associated spring force clamping connection () and extends in a conductor insertion direction (L), and at least one operating lever () pivotably supported about a rotational axis (D), which operating lever interacts with at least one clamping spring () by means of an operating section () in order to open at least one clamping point of an associated spring force clamping connection () when the operating lever () is pivoted and which has an operating arm () adjacent to the operating section (). For each spring force clamping connection (), two respective operating sections () opposite each other for accommodating an associated clamping section () of the clamping spring () of the associated spring force clamping connection are provided at least partially in the space between the opposite operating sections ().
