Abstract:
A contacting device for contacting an electrical conductor to an electrical conductor track includes a housing having openings for inserting the conductor and the conductor track into a cavity. A contact clip is in the cavity, and is a single element that includes a first portion having an end to press the conductor onto the conductor track, and a second portion from which a protrusion protrudes. The contact clip is bent in the cavity so that the first portion is under bending stress and the end of the first portion is pressed against the protrusion. The second portion is arranged in the housing such that it and the protrusion are displaced when a force acts on the second portion, as a result of which the end of the first portion is released from abutting the protrusion and is pressed against the conductor to hold the conductor on the conductor track.

Claim (Index 1):
A contacting device for contacting an electrical conductor to an electrical conductor track, the contacting device comprising:\n a housing having a first opening suitable for inserting the electrical conductor into a cavity inside the housing, and a second opening suitable for inserting the electrical conductor track into the cavity inside the housing; and a contact clip arranged in the cavity inside the housing, wherein the contact clip is a single element that comprises a first portion having an end configured to press the electrical conductor onto the electrical conductor track, and a second portion from which a material protrusion of the contact clip protrudes, the material protrusion being integrated in the second portion, wherein the contact clip is configured to be bent in the cavity in such a way that the first portion is under bending stress and the end of the first portion of the contact clip is pressed against the material protrusion by the bending stress, wherein the second portion of the contact clip is arranged below the first opening in the housing perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the first opening and in parallel with a bottom surface of the cavity, and wherein the second portion of the contact clip is movably arranged in the housing such that the second portion of the contact clip and the material protrusion are displaced when a force acts on the second portion of the contact clip, as a result of which the end of the first portion of the contact clip is released from abutting the material protrusion and is pressed against the electrical conductor owing to the bending stress on the first portion of the contact clip in such a way that the electrical conductor is held on the electrical conductor track in a press fit when the electrical conductor is inserted into the contacting device through the first opening and the electrical conductor track is inserted into the contacting device through the second opening.
