Abstract
The invention relates to a device for contacting an electrical conductor, having a base body (1), having a closing element (2) with a receptacle area (3) for receiving the conductor, having an insulation piercing connector (4) held in the base body (1) with a contact region (5), wherein the closing element (2) is movable in a linear direction from an open position to a closed position relative to the base body (1), with the insulation piercing connector (4) being disposed such that its contact region (5) is located outside of the receptacle area (3) relative to the closing element (2) in the open position and inside the receptacle area (3) relative to the closing element (2) in the closed position. In order to improve the device it is proposed that a rocker element (6) and an actuating element (7) are provided, with the rocker element (6) being movably mounted in the base body (1) and disposed relative to the closing element (2) and actuating element (7) in such a way that a linear movement of the closing element (2) from the open position to the closed position can be converted into a linear movement of the actuating element (7) in the opposite direction and that a linear movement…
