CONTACTING DEVICE FOR CONNECTING AN ELECTRICAL CONDUCTOR

摘要

A contacting device (100) for connecting an electrical conductor (11) comprises a connection contact (101) for fixing the electrical conductor (11) to the contacting device (100), wherein the connection contact (101) has a retainer (110). The retainer (110) has an accommodating region (112) for accommodating the electrical conductor (11). The accommodating region (112) tapers between an inlet opening (E112) and a base surface (B112) of the accommodating region (112) in such a way that a cross section (A11) of the electrical conductor (11) is deformed when the electrical conductor (11) is inserted into the accommodating region (112), whereby the electrical conductor is retained on the connection contact (101) in the clamping seat. The electrical conductor (11) can thus be fixed to the connection contact (101) without bending of the retainer (110).
