Abstract

A connection device for connection of an electrical conductor includes: a housing which has an insertion opening for insertion of an electrical conductor; a spring element arranged on the housing, which spring element has a spring leg for locking a conductor inserted in the insertion opening; and an adjusting element which is arranged adjustably on the housing. By adjustment of the adjusting element, the spring leg is movable between a clamping position in which a conductor inserted in the insertion opening is lockable in the insertion opening, and a release position in which a conductor may be inserted into the insertion opening, or a conductor inserted in the insertion opening is releasable from the insertion opening. The spring element has an actuation section arranged on the spring leg on which the adjusting element acts during an adjustment for the movement of the spring leg.
