A protective conductor terminal

The invention relates to a protective conductor terminal for locking on a support rail extending in a longitudinal extension direction. The support rail has a first support rail edge and a second support rail edge, the protective conductor terminal has an insulating material housing and at least two conductor joints accommodated in the insulating material housing, and the at least two conductor joints can be conductively connected to a conductive rail. The protective conductor terminal also has a metal contact foot, the conductive rail and the support rail can be electrically connected by themetal contact foot, the metal contact foot has a first arm and a second arm, the first arm snaps the first support rail edge when locked in the locked state, and the second arm snaps the second support rail edge after locked in the locked state, wherein it is provided that the metal contact foot has a support section, and the support section is supported on the first support rail edge and the second support rail edge in t
