Patent ID: 8328586

Claim:
Actuating device for an electrical connection terminal, wherein the electrical connection terminal comprises a contact frame, arranged in a housing made of insulating material, with a conductor terminal connection for an electrical conductor, the actuating device comprises an actuating element in the form of a pusher which is integrally formed with the housing made of insulating material so that the pusher and the housing forms a single piece, the conductor terminal connection is formed on the contact frame by at least one spring element, the free end of which forms a clamping edge which is directed toward the electrical conductor and to which a clamping force is applied, and the conductor terminal connection can be opened by action of the pusher on the at least one spring element by a force being applied to the spring element by the pusher counter to the clamping force, wherein the pusher consists of a pusher arm, wherein the pusher arm is connected with one of its ends to the housing made of insulating material, and wherein the pusher arm extends along at least a partial section of two surfaces of the housing made of insulating material which are arranged at an angle to each other.
