Abstract

A connecting element for mounting an electrical circuit board to an electrical flat conductor, in particular a busbar, has a flat or substantially flat mounting surface for applying and mounting the connecting element to the circuit board, and a tulip contact for receiving the flat conductor in an electrically contacting manner. The tulip contact includes at least one clamping element and a support element, between which a receptacle for the flat conductor is provided, and wherein the tulip contact preferably extends at a mounting angle greater than 45° and less than 135° with respect to the mounting surface. An electrical circuit board having such a contact element, a terminal block having such an electrical circuit board, and a method for automated mounting of such a terminal block are also provided.
