Abstract

A connection terminal for connecting an electrical conductor includes: a housing; a current bar arranged in the housing; a clamping spring arranged in the housing; and a pivotally mounted actuation lever. The clamping spring is transferrable to an open position and to a closed position vis-à-vis a pivoting movement of the actuation lever. The clamping spring includes a clamping limb for clamping a conductor that is inserted into the housing against the current bar in the closed position. An actuation tab is arranged on the clamping limb such that when the clamping spring is transferred from the closed position to the open position, a compressive force is applied to the actuation tab by the actuation lever.
