Abstract

The invention relates to an electrical connecting clamp for connecting an electric conductor to an electrical device. The clamp has a substantially U-shaped body having a midsection to which conductor can be connected by means of a clamping screw. One arm of the body ends in an insertable blade. A resilient contact element is formed on the other arm for contact with an insertable blade or a pin. Such a resilient contact element can be provided by forming the other arm with an opening and providing bevelled lead-in parts extending in the direction of insertion.
