It is aimed to omit a crimping step without enlargement. A connection device includes a movable-side conductive member and a fixed-side conductive member configured to electrically contact a first conductor and a second conductor serving as connection objects, and a pressing member made of resilient non-metal and configured to give a pressing force in a contact direction to the first conductor, the second conductor, the movable-side conductive member and the fixed-side conductive member.

Embodiments of the invention provide an electrical terminal that provides wire termination at an edge of a printed circuit board. The electrical terminal includes a terminal body having a first corner, a cage clamp in the terminal body and defining a wire insert axis and a screw insert axis, and a base supporting the terminal body on the printed circuit board. The base is angled so that the first corner is aligned along a front plane defined along the edge of the printed circuit board.

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.
