Abstract
This invention relates to an electrical connecting terminal (10) with an insulating housing (20), which contains a clamp body receptacle (22) with an insertion opening (21) for an electrical conductor, with a clamp body (30), which can be inserted into the clamp body receptacle (22) and has a connecting space (31) for the electrical conductor, said connecting space (31) being adjacent to the insertion opening (21), and within which a locking screw (40) is located in such a manner that the inserted electrical conductor is firmly clampable in the clamp body (30) by means of said locking screw (40), the clamp body (30) having at least one electrical contact, which is accessible from the base area (20a) of the housing (20), the housing (20) being of one-piece integral construction and having a plug-in opening (24) for the clamp body (30) on one side and being attachable to the clamp body (30) via a snap-in mechanism, the one-sided plug-in opening (24) being located in the base area (20a) of the housing (20).
