Abstract

A clamping body for an electric conductor, comprising a clamping body pocket that forms a receiving space for receiving the electric conductor. A threaded bore is formed in a lateral wall of the clamping body pocket in order to receive a screw. The aim of the invention is to devise a solution in which the clamping body substantially has the properties of a clamping body that is made of art alloy containing brass and simultaneously complies with the EU guidelines and regulations prohibiting certain materials. This is achieved in that the clamping body pocket is formed from an alloy containing aluminium, said alloy having a tensile strength of 380 N/mm2 to 480 N/mm2.
