Abstract

A clamping arrangement includes: two spring-force terminals, the two spring-force terminals each including a clamping cage and a spring, each of the two clamping cages being able to receive an electrical conductor pushed in an insertion direction and to clamp the conductor between the cage and the spring, a first insertion direction of a first of the two spring-force terminals and a second insertion direction of a second of the two spring-force terminals being arranged at an angle larger than 0° to one another. The two spring-force terminals are arranged one behind the other in one of the insertion directions of the electrical conductor. The first insertion direction of the first of the two spring-force terminals and the second insertion direction of the second of the two spring-force terminals are arranged at a right angle to one another or counter to one another.
