A lever connector includes a housing, a busbar located within the housing, lever mechanisms, and resilient members that connect the lever mechanisms to the busbar. Each lever mechanism includes a lever located on a near side of the busbar bridge and a lifting mechanism located on a far side of the busbar bridge opposite the near side of the busbar bridge. Each resilient member includes a fixed section connected to the busbar bridge and a clamping section connected to the lifting mechanism. When the lever is actuated and lifted upwards and away from the housing, the lifting mechanism moves the clamping section of the resilient member to release away from the busbar base surf ace. When the lever is closed and pushed downward toward the housing, the lifting mechanism moves the clamping section of the resilient member downward to push the electrical conductor against the busbar base surface.

The actuation element (4) has two side wall portions (8a, 8b) which are spaced from one another and at least partially enter the insulating material housing (2) with a pivot bearing region (14) and, opposite said pivot bearing region (14), are connected to each other by a transverse web (5) to form a lever arm. The pivot bearing regions (14) of the mutually distanced side wall portions (8a, 8b) of an actuation element (4) form an axis of rotation (D), about which the actuation element (4) is pivotably mounted in the insulating material housing (2). An associated spring-loaded clamping connection (11) is at least partially accommodated in the space between the pivot bearing regions (14) of an actuation element (4). The pivot bearing regions (14) have actuation portions (16), which in each case are designed in order to act on an associated clamping spring (17) of a spring-loaded clamping connection (11) as the actuation element (16) is pivoted from a closed position into an open position, and in that the actuation portions (4) are arranged on the pivot bearing regions (14) of the side wall portions (8a, 8b) at a distance from one another that is shorter than the distance between the side wall portions (8a, 8b). The actuation portions (16) extend parallel to the side wall portions (8a, 8b) and are formed integrally with the side wall portions (8a, 8b), such that in each case a guide slot (30) is provided between an actuation portion (16) and the associated, directly adjacent side wall portion (8a, 8b), and in that a guide web (27) of the insulating material housing (2) in each case enters an associated guide slot (30) for guiding the actuation element (4) in the event of a pivot motion about an axis of rotation (D) in the pivot bearing region (14).

The present invention relates to a terminal (1) with a spring force terminal connection (2) with at least one conductor terminal point (K), an insulating material housing (6), a conductor introduction channel (60), and a release lever (5). The release lever (5) is mounted in the insulating material housing (6) pivotably about a pivot axis (A) extending transverse to a conductor introduction direction (E) of an electric conductor between an idle position with closed conductor terminal point (K) and an actuating position with opened conductor terminal point (K). The release lever (5) has two lever arm portions (50) which are spaced apart from one another and which are immersed on both sides of the conductor introduction channel (60) at least partially into the insulating material housing (6). The lever arm portions (50) have in each case a guide portion (53) which face one another and form between them at least a part of the conductor introduction channel (60). The guide portions (53) in the idle position and/or in the actuating position, as seen in the conductor introduction direction, run toward the conductor terminal point (K) in a manner which narrows the conductor introduction channel (60).
