A spring force terminal, in particular a direct plug-in terminal, for connecting a conductor that can be designed as a flexible stranded conductor, which has at least the following features: a. a housing having a chamber and having a plug-in channel for the conductor into the chamber, b. a busbar and/or a clamping cage, c. a clamping spring arranged in the chamber and acting as a compression spring for fixing the electrical conductor on the busbar and/or the clamping cage in the region of a clamping point, d. wherein the clamping spring has a clamping leg pivotable around a pivot axis, which is adjustable from a latching state, in which it is latched in a latching position, into a clamping state, in which it is unlatched from the latching position and presses the electrical conductor against the busbar or the clamping cage, wherein the latching state is produced by pressing on the clamping leg in the conductor insertion direction using a pusher, e. wherein the clamping leg is releasable from the latching state using two different actuatable adjustment means, f. wherein the first of the two adjustment means has a movable release element, on which the end of the conductor to be contacted acts upon the release of the conductor, and g. wherein the second of the two adjustment means is the pusher for moving the clamping leg, wherein the pusher is displaceable in an actuating channel of the housing in the plug-in direction and is movable to a limited extent perpendicularly to the insertion direction and has a latching edge, on which it can be latched in the housing on a latching edge of the housing in the latching state, wherein it holds the clamping spring correspondingly latched in the open position, wherein the latching edge is releasable from the latching state by opposing movement, h. wherein the second release element is designed to release the pusher from the latching position and in this way also to release the clamping leg from the latching state, i. wherein an actuating contour is provided on the pusher, which interacts with an actuating counter contour of the release element to clamp an electrical conductor in the spring force terminal and/or to release the electrical conductor from the spring force terminal in such a way that the release element rotates from a base position around an axis of rotation into a pivot position, characterized in that j. the actuating counter contour is arranged in the base position below a rotation pin of the release element, which forms the axis of rotation. a. a housing having a chamber and having a plug-in channel for the conductor into the chamber, b. a busbar and/or a clamping cage, c. a clamping spring arranged in the chamber and acting as a compression spring for fixing the electrical conductor on the busbar and/or the clamping cage in the region of a clamping point, d. wherein the clamping spring has a clamping leg pivotable around a pivot axis, which is adjustable from a latching state, in which it is latched in a latching position, into a clamping state, in which it is unlatched from the latching position and presses the electrical conductor against the busbar or the clamping cage, wherein the latching state is produced by pressing on the clamping leg in the conductor insertion direction using a pusher, e. wherein the clamping leg is releasable from the latching state using two different actuatable adjustment means, f. wherein the first of the two adjustment means has a movable release element, on which the end of the conductor to be contacted acts upon the release of the conductor, and g. wherein the second of the two adjustment means is the pusher for moving the clamping leg, wherein the pusher is displaceable in an actuating channel of the housing in the plug-in direction and is movable to a limited extent perpendicularly to the insertion direction and has a latching edge, on which it can be latched in the housing on a latching edge of the housing in the latching state, wherein it holds the clamping spring correspondingly latched in the open position, wherein the latching edge is releasable from the latching state by opposing movement, h. wherein the second release element is designed to release the pusher from the latching position and in this way also to release the clamping leg from the latching state, i. wherein an actuating contour is provided on the pusher, which interacts with an actuating counter contour of the release element to clamp an electrical conductor in the spring force terminal and/or to release the electrical conductor from the spring force terminal in such a way that the release element rotates from a base position around an axis of rotation into a pivot position, characterized in that j. the actuating counter contour is arranged in the base position below a rotation pin of the release element, which forms the axis of rotation.
