Clamping arrangement for electric conductors

摘要

An arrangement for clamping an electric conductor includes a clamping cage having a threaded bore centered on a central axis. A clamping screw is received in the threaded bore for threading in and out along a predetermined path centered on the central axis. An insertion receptacle for the electric conductor is accommodated in the clamping cage and extends substantially parallel to the central axis. A pressure member is mounted in the clamping cage for pivoting about a pivot axis out of and back into an open position thereof and extends into the predetermined path. A spring urges the pressure member toward its open position. The spring is an integral unitary portion of the clamping cage and extends from an outer contour of the clamping cage towards the pressure member.
