Abstract
The invention proposes a terminal contact for electric conductors in an insulating housing (1) with electric contacts that are arranged in separate chambers (11), wherein a clamping sleeve (3) is in axial alignment with and connected to a slide element (2) that is also arranged in the chambers (11).A single-wire or multi-wire electric conductor that is inserted into a through-bore of the slide element and the clamping sleeve connected thereto is pushed over a stationary, rigid and barb-shaped terminal region of the conductor rail while the slide element is axially moved along the chamber, wherein the strands are clamped between the terminal region and the clamping sleeve.
