Screwless terminal for bimetal contactors - has metal contact angle piece with hole for wire and clamping spring with guide surface at acute angle

摘要

The screwless terminal is for switching and control devices, esp. bimetal contractors. A metal contact angle piece has a hole for insertion of the wire. The terminal has a guiding surface adjacent and parallel to the wire insertion direction. A clamping spring forms, with the guiding surface, an acute angle opening towards the insertion hole. The metal contact angle piece (101) legs form a 90 deg. angle. The clamping spring (12) is attached to one of its legs, and the insertion hole (54) is near the angle piece bend.
