Abstract:
1. An electrical terminal assembly, comprising: at least one busbar part; at least one clamping spring extending in a longitudinal extension direction (L), said at least one clamping spring having a free clamping end extending in a direction of the busbar part and configured to press on an inserted electrical conductor of a cable against the busbar part in a clamping area of an insulated housing; the insulating housing having at least one conductor insertion opening leading to the clamping area in the insulating housing; and at least one actuating channel arranged adjacent to the at least one conductor insertion opening, said at least one actuating channel configured for introducing an actuating tool for pressing down the at least one clamping spring by means of the actuating tool, wherein the at least one actuating channel merges in a merging area into an actuating section of the at least one clamping spring extending outwardly and adjacent to the clamping area for the electrical conductor and perpendicular to the longitudinal extension direction (L), so that the clamping area and the actuating section lie adjacent to one another on the width of the at least one clamping spring, and so that planes defined by the main axes of the conductor insertion opening and of the actuating channel and the at least one clamping spring in the clamping area when intersecting along the width of the clamping spring perpendicular to the longitudinal extension direction (L) are approximately parallel to one another, wherein the insulating housing has an intermediate wall spatially separating the conductor opening from the actuating channel, and wherein a cross section of the actuating channel perpendicular to the longitudinal extension direction (L) is narrower in a direction of the width of the clamping spring than a cross-section perpendicular to the width of the clamping spring.
