Abstract
The invention relates to a connecting terminal with an insulating housing and a clamping contact positioned in the connecting terminal housing for the purpose of connecting an electrical conductor, such that a contact spring, which is electrically connected to the clamping contact in the housing, is guided through an initial hole in the housing of connecting terminal to the outside of the housing, and where the contact spring is so designed that it presses against the contact surface of the circuit board when the connecting terminal is mounted on a circuit board, to thereby produce an electrical contact between the circuit board and the clamping contact.
