A spring terminal, which is designed as a direct plug-in terminal, for connecting a conductor which can be designed as a flexible stranded conductor, which terminal has at least the following features: a. a housing with a chamber and with an insertion channel for inserting the conductor into the chamber, b. a busbar and/or a clamping cage, c. a clamping spring arranged in the chamber, acting as a pressure spring, for securing the electric conductor on the busbar and/or on the clamping cage in the region of a clamping site, d. wherein the clamping spring comprises a clamping limb which can be pivoted about a pivot axis and which can be adjusted from a latching state, in which it is latched in a latching position, into a clamping state, in which it is unlatched out of the latching state and pushes the electrical conductor against the busbar or against the clamping cage, wherein the latching state is generated by pressure onto the clamping limb in the conductor insertion direction by a pusher, e. wherein the clamping limb can be released out of the latching state by two different actuatable adjustment means, f. wherein the first of the two adjustment means is a movable release element, on which the end of the conductor to be contacted acts when the conductor is released, g. wherein the second of the two adjustment means is the pusher for moving the clamping limb, wherein the pusher can be shifted in an actuation channel of the housing in the insertion direction and can be moved to a limited extent perpendicularly to the Insertion direction, h. wherein the second release element is designed for the release of the pusher out of the latching position and thereby also for the release of the clamping limb out of the latching state, i. wherein the pusher comprises a latching edge, characterized in that this latching edge in the interior of the housing, on a latching hook of the busbar in the latching state, wherein the pusher holds the clamping spring in a latched manner in an open position, wherein the latching edge of the pusher can be released out of the latching state by an opposite movement and the latching hook of the busbar is formed on a hook-shaped section of the busbar, which is formed from, in particular bent out of, the busbar. a. a housing with a chamber and with an insertion channel for inserting the conductor into the chamber, b. a busbar and/or a clamping cage, c. a clamping spring arranged in the chamber, acting as a pressure spring, for securing the electric conductor on the busbar and/or on the clamping cage in the region of a clamping site, d. wherein the clamping spring comprises a clamping limb which can be pivoted about a pivot axis and which can be adjusted from a latching state, in which it is latched in a latching position, into a clamping state, in which it is unlatched out of the latching state and pushes the electrical conductor against the busbar or against the clamping cage, wherein the latching state is generated by pressure onto the clamping limb in the conductor insertion direction by a pusher, e. wherein the clamping limb can be released out of the latching state by two different actuatable adjustment means, f. wherein the first of the two adjustment means is a movable release element, on which the end of the conductor to be contacted acts when the conductor is released, g. wherein the second of the two adjustment means is the pusher for moving the clamping limb, wherein the pusher can be shifted in an actuation channel of the housing in the insertion direction and can be moved to a limited extent perpendicularly to the Insertion direction, h. wherein the second release element is designed for the release of the pusher out of the latching position and thereby also for the release of the clamping limb out of the latching state, i. wherein the pusher comprises a latching edge,
