A connection element for connecting an insulated electrical conductor includes: a clamping sleeve body in which a receiving space for the electrical conductor is formed; and a connection screw which has a screw head and a screw shaft and is introducible into the receiving space along an insertion direction of the connection screw via an opening formed on the clamping sleeve body. The receiving space has a first region and a second region which adjoins the first region. The first region forms a support region for the conductor and the second region forms a press-in region into which a subregion of the conductor arranged in the first region is pressed by the connection screw in a connected state. The second region has two opposite side walls against which strands of the conductor exposed by pressing in the conductor bear in an electrically contacting manner in the connected state.
