Claim:
1. A contacting device for connecting an electrical conductor, comprising: a connection contact for fixing the electrical conductor to the contacting device, wherein the connection contact has a retainer, wherein the retainer is formed in such a way that the electrical conductor can be connected to the contacting device by being clamped in the retainer and without bending of the retainer, wherein the retainer has an accommodating region for accommodating the electrical conductor, wherein the accommodating region has an inlet opening and a base surface and the accommodating region extends between the inlet opening and the base surface, wherein the base surface is configured as a flat surface, wherein the accommodating region continuously tapers from the inlet opening to the base surface in such a way that a cross section of the electrical conductor is deformed when the electrical conductor is inserted into the accommodating region, whereby the electrical conductor is held on the connection contact in a clamping seat, and wherein the retainer has at least one protrusion, which narrows the inlet opening into the accommodating region.
