Abstract

A connection terminal for connecting an electrical conductor includes: an insulating housing having at least one conductor terminal device which in each case can be operated by an actuation element mounted in the insulating housing so as to be pivotable about a pin. The at least one conductor terminal device includes a clamping point for the electrical conductor that is formed by a contact element arranged in a stationary manner in the insulating housing and a clamping spring that is arranged in the insulating housing so as to be movable, by the actuation element, between an open position and a clamping position by a free leg of the clamping spring being articulated to the actuation element by a connecting element such that the clamping spring can be moved into the open position by a pivot movement of the actuation element in a first direction.
