Abstract
A connection module including an insulating housing inside which a conductive connector part is held stationary, which connector part has a slot for receiving an electrical wire, into which housing an auxiliary part penetrates that is provided with a wire-pusher element mounted to slide in the housing along the slot and along a wire-receiving opening in the housing. The auxiliary part is provided with an operating element which projects from the housing, and which is held in the pushed-in position by co-operation between a holding mechanism that it carries and complemetary holding mechanism in the housing. Structure provided on the operating element make it possible to act from the outside on the holding mechanism, thereby releasing the auxiliary part when it is held stationary so as to enable it to slide.
