Patent ID: 7329143

Claim:
Electrical terminal, comprising a housing with a terminal chamber formed in the housing and two conductor inlets which lead into the terminal chamber for electrical conductors to be connected, a conductor connection arrangement located in the terminal chamber for each conductor inlet, each conductor connection arrangement having a current bar and a clamping leg of a clamping spring, the clamping leg and the current bar forming a spring force clamping terminal for an electrical conductor to be connected, and the clamping leg being connected to a contact leg, wherein only one said clamping spring is located in the housing, the contact legs of the conductor connection arrangements being connected to one another on an end which is away from the clamping legs of the conductor connection arrangements and adjoining a housing wall on an edge of the terminal chamber, and wherein the current bar and the clamping spring are made and arranged such that the current bar is located between the clamping legs of the conductor connection arrangements and runs essentially parallel to an insertion direction of the conductors to be connected; wherein there is only one current bar in the housing, each side of the current bar forming a spring force clamping terminal with a respective clamping leg; and wherein the current bar is formed of two current bar sections which run parallel to one another, the two current bar sections being interconnected via a bent connection region which faces opposite the conductor insertion direction, and each current bar section forming a spring force clamping terminal with a respective clamping leg.
