Abstract:
A spring-force clamp connector for connecting an electrical conductor comprising:a substantially planar conductive core piece having an opening comprising a four-cornered material passage constructed and arranged to receive the electrical conductor therethrough, the material passage including an aperture collar extending in the direction of the passage, the aperture collar including an inner wall; a leaf spring including a clamping member, the clamping member having a first end that is inserted into the passage such that it forms with the inner wall of the aperture collar a clamping site for the electrical conductor; a cross edge disposed adjacent the inner wall area of the aperture collar, the cross edge projecting against the electrical conductor and extending crosswise to the direction of the passage; and wherein the clamping member spring is constructed and arranged such that an end-side clamping edge of the clamping member lies substantially opposite the cross edge when the electrical conductor is clamped.
