Abstract:
A conductor-connection element for connecting electrical conductors (2), comprising a contact-carrier (8), with insulation-displacement contacts (9), a conductor-guiding part (7) with S-shaped conductor-guiding ducts (6), a tension-relieving arrangement (5) and a cap nut (4), wherein the insulation-displacement contacts are held in the contact-carrier and the electrical conductors are inserted in the S-shaped conductor-guiding ducts (6) in the conductor-guiding part (7), said S-shaped conductor-guiding ducts having a plurality of bearing points (H1, H2, H3) corresponding to the turnings points of the ducts, wherein the conductor-guiding part (7) is moved toward the contact-carrier (8) when a cap nut (4) is screwed on the contact-carrier (8), and within the S-shaped conductor-guiding ducts (6) the electrical conductors (2) are pressed into slits in the insulation-displacement contacts (9) as the contact-carrier (8) and cap nut (4) are screwed together, characterized in that the electrical conductors (2) within the S-shaped conductor-guiding ducts (6) are guided into the slits of the insulation-displacement contacts (9) as the insulation-displacements contacts are guided within grooves (11) of the conductor-guiding part (7), said slits of the insulation-displacement contacts (9) performing successive sheathing of the electrical conductors (2) at bearing points (H1, H2, H3) within the conductor-guiding part (7) to bring about an electrical connection with a minimum of rotational movement applied to the cap nut (4).
