Patent ID: 7150646

Claim:
A clamp terminal for the connection of an electrical conductor which is inserted through an opening in a support plate of the clamp terminal and is then clamped electrically and mechanically in a clamping site of the clamp terminal, with a leaf spring produced from a piece of spring steel sheet, which is fastened in a fixed position as a leaf spring tab with its head end on the support plate of the clamp terminal and whose tab end extends opposite a conductive core piece, the conductive core piece is comprised of an electrically well-conducting material and extends crosswise to the tab end of the leaf spring in such a way that the tab end of the leaf spring, together with the conductive core piece, forms the clamping site for the electrical conductor, the support plate is produced from a piece of spring steel sheet, to which the head end of the leaf spring, is fastened so that it lies flat with the support plate spring steel sheet; and the conductive core piece is formed in the shape of a conductive core rod, which is attached in fixed position to the spring steel sheet for the support plate wherein the conductive core rod possesses a round cross section and is locked in a correspondingly shaped uptake locking profile of the spring steel sheet for the support plate.
