Abstract

A terminal for circuit boards is described, having at least one clamping contact situated in a housing. The clamping contact is composed of a contact element and a clamping spring, the clamping spring being operable via an operating element. A projection is situated on the operating element, the projection striking a stopping edge of the housing in the position of the operating element causing the clamping spring to open. A counter-projection is situated on the side of the operating element opposite the projection, the counter-projection striking an interior stopping edge of the housing in the position of the operating element causing the clamping spring to be clamped.
