CONDUCTOR TERMINAL
A conductor terminal having a housing, a first spring-loaded clamping connection connecting a first electrical conductor, and a second spring-loaded clamping connection connecting a second electrical conductor. The first spring-loaded clamping connection is electrically connected to the second spring-loaded clamping connection. The first spring-loaded clamping connection has a first clamping spring and a first counter bearing, between which a first clamping point is formed where the first electrical conductor can be clamped between the first clamping spring and the first counter bearing. The second spring-loaded clamping connection has a second clamping spring and a second counter bearing, between which a second clamping point is formed where the second electrical conductor can be clamped between the second clamping spring and the second counter bearing. The first clamping point and the second clamping point are arranged in the interior of the housing at a distance from outer walls of the housing.
Snap-In Bridge Connector
A snap-in bridge connector, comprising a housing having a housing base, multiple side walls and a housing lid with multiple insertion openings, a current rail positioned on an inside of opposing side walls of the housing, a contacting spring array with multiple contacting spring elements and a preloading spring array with multiple preloading spring elements. The contacting spring array has a ridge shape with a connection ridge connecting the multiple contacting spring elements. Each preloading spring element of the multiple preloading spring elements is set up to hold a respective contacting spring element of the multiple contacting spring elements in a preloaded position. Each preloading spring element is set up to be actuated by a wire inserted into the housing via an insertion opening of the housing lid and to release the respective contacting spring element from the preloaded position to contact the inserted wire to the current rail.
