A connection terminal for connecting, in an electrically contacting manner, to at least one conductor includes a current bar held on a mount. The current bar connects to the at least one conductor. The connection terminal also includes an actuation lever, a clamping spring, and a slotted guide. The slotted guide has at least one closure slot and a clamping slot that branches off transversely therefrom. The actuation lever is movably guided in the slotted guide by a first pin and a second pin.

In parallel screw connections, which are preferably used in series terminals, the transmission of force from the connection screw to electric conductors which have different diameters is not always optimal. As a solution, the clamping element is mounted in or on the connection housing both in a movable manner as well as in a rotational manner about a rotational axis. By screwing the connection screw, the clamping element is moved in the direction of the electric conductor, mechanically contacts the electric conductor, is rotated by further screwing the connection screw about the rotational axis, and thus presses the electric conductor against the busbar with a corresponding degree of force. In this manner, an optimal pressing force is ensured independently of the respective diameter of the electric conductor.

A connection terminal for connecting at least one conductor to a current bar, which is accommodated on a mount, in an electrically contacting manner, includes at least one clamping spring for applying a clamping force, the at least one clamping spring including a pivotable clamping lever for clamping the conductor. The clamping spring has a first leg and at least a second leg, is hingedly coupled to the clamping lever by the first leg, and is hingedly coupled to an auxiliary lever by the second leg, the clamping lever and the auxiliary lever being arranged pivotally on the mount.

A connector for a strip of linear lighting includes an outer shell or block and an adapter configured to be removably inserted into a cavity of the outer shell. The adapter may be a printed circuit board (PCB) adapted to mount wires on one side or edge. On the opposite side or edge, a series of contact pins are formed on the underside of the adapter. The outer shell includes a pressure-applying mechanism, like screws that insert through its thickness and are secured in a bar with threaded holes. The adapter is positioned such that the screws bear on and supply pressure to the contact pins. A strip of linear lighting is inserted into a slot beneath the adapter such that the contact pins of the adapter coincide with the solder pads or other electrical contacts of the strip of linear lighting.

An electrical connection terminal for the clamping contact of an electrical conductor, comprising a busbar with a side wall on which an abutment wall and a contact wall spaced apart therefrom are integrally formed with formation of a conductor connection channel that is accessible via an insertion opening. A clamping spring is provided with a contact leg that is contacted at the abutment wall of the busbar, and with a clamping leg that is connected to the contact leg. A clamping edge is guided against the contact wall of the busbar with formation of a clamping point.

A connector is disclosed. The connector of the present disclosure may comprise: a housing; a terminal installed to be able to pivot inside the housing, wherein the terminal includes a first part extending to be long, a second part facing the first part and spaced apart from the first part, and a third part connecting the first part with the second part and having a pivot shaft of the terminal positioned therein; and a cam which is rotatably installed in the housing and has an outer surface in contact with the first part of the terminal while rotating.

An electrical cable connector assembly includes a frame having opposing conductor securing contact sections and a cam member rotatably mounted to the frame between the opposing conductor securing contact sections. The cam member includes contact surfaces for contacting the conductors to be secured in the opposing conductor securing contact sections and when the cam member is rotated, the contact surfaces press against the conductors securing the conductors in the opposing conductor securing contact sections.
