A wire-to-wire connector includes a housing defining a first port and a second port, and a contact member disposed within the housing. The contact member defines a first channel and a second channel separated by a wall, where the first channel defines a first axis and the second channel defines a second axis offset from the first axis, and where the first axis and the second axis are substantially parallel. The first channel is aligned with the first port and the second channel is aligned with the second port.

A spring-loaded terminal is designed as a direct plug-in terminal for connecting a conductor. The terminal includes a busbar for contacting the conductor, a clamping spring for retaining the electrical conductor in the terminal, and a retaining spring for latching the clamping spring in an open position so that the conductor can be inserted into a contact area. The clamping spring has a pivotable clamping leg and a clamping edge. The retaining spring has a pivotable pivoting leg having at least one retaining device as a first latching device. The clamping leg has a corresponding latching device cooperating with the retaining device of the pivoting leg in a latching state of the clamping leg. The clamping leg is adjustable from the latching state by displacing the electrical conductor into a clamping state in which the clamping leg is unlatched from the retaining device and presses the electrical conductor with the clamping edge of the clamping leg against the busbar. The latching device of the clamping leg is spaced from the clamping edge of the clamping leg.

A conductor connection terminal with an insulation material housing having at least one conductor insertion opening for receiving an electrical conductor in a conductor insertion direction is described. At least one spring-loaded clamping connection for connecting an electrical conductor via elastic force is situated in the insulation material housing. The spring-loaded clamping connection has at least one busbar and a clamping spring with a clamping leg having a clamping edge for clamping the electrical conductor to a clamping point on a contact section of the busbar. The spring-loaded clamping connection, as a further component that is separate from the clamping spring and the busbar, has a connecting body via which the clamping spring is fixed to the busbar.
