Abstract

A clamping body for an electrical conductor includes a clamping body pocket. The clamping body pocket forms a receiving space for receiving the electrical conductor. The clamping body pocket is formed from a copper zinc alloy that has a lead content of less than 0.1 percent by weight, a tensile strength that is at least 640 Newtons per square millimeter, and an elongation A10 at rupture that is at least 5 percent. The clamping body also includes a threaded bore for receiving a screw, the threaded bore being formed in a side wall of the clamping body pocket.
