Claim:
1. A conductor terminal, comprising: an insulating material housing; at least one spring-loaded clamping connection arranged in the insulating material housing; at least one actuation element pivotably accommodated in the insulating material housing and configured to open at least one spring-loaded clamping connection associated with the at least one actuation element, wherein the at least one actuation element comprises i) two side wall portions spaced from one another and at least partially entering the insulating material housing, and ii) a pivot bearing region, wherein opposite said pivot bearing region the at least two side wall portions are connected to each other by a transverse web to form a lever arm, the pivot bearing region of each mutually distanced side wall portion forming an axis of rotation, about which the at least one actuation element is pivotably mounted in the insulating material housing, and wherein the spring-loaded clamping connection associated with the at least one actuation element is at least partially accommodated in a space between the pivot bearing region of the at least one actuation element, the pivot bearing region having actuation portions configured to act on an associated clamping spring of a spring-loaded clamping connection as the actuation element pivots from a closed position, in which the at least one actuation element is pivoted in a position such that the associated transverse web is adjacent the insulating material housing and a clamping point formed by the spring-loaded clamping connection for clamping an electrical conductor is closed, into an open position, in which the at least one actuation element is pivoted in a position such that the associated transvers web is away from the insulating material housing and a clamping point formed by the spring-loaded clamping connection for clamping an electrical conductor is open, and wherein the actuation portions are arranged on the pivot bearing region at a distance from one another that is less than the distance between the side wall portions, wherein the actuation portions extends parallel to the side wall portions and is formed integrally with the side wall portions, such that a guide slot is provided between an actuation portion and the associated, directly adjacent side wall portion, and a guide web of the insulating material housing enters an associated guide slot for guiding the actuation element in the event of a pivot motion about an axis of rotation in the pivot bearing region.
