DIRECT PLUG-IN COMPRESSION SPRING TERMINAL WITH RETAINING SPRING

A direct plug-in compression spring terminal includes a bus bar for contacting an electrical conductor, and a clamping spring for fastening the electrical conductor in the direct plug-in compression spring terminal, wherein the clamping spring has a clamping arm that can be pivoted in a clamping direction about a clamping axis, and an actuating device for pivoting the clamping bar. In an open state, in which the electrical conductor can be inserted into the direct plug-in compression spring terminal, the clamping arm is pivoted against the clamping direction against a restoring force of the clamping spring. In a clamping state, in which the electrical conductor is clamping in the direct plug-in compression spring terminal, the clamping arm is pivoted in the clamping direction by the restoring force of the clamping spring. In the open state, the actuating device is locked in the direct plug-in compression spring terminal and additionally clamped to the clamping arm.
