ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a connector clamp having a housing and a current bar disposed thereon, and having a receiving unit for receiving a conductor, and having a clamping unit with a clamping spring held in the housing for clamping the conductor against the current bar in order to conduct an inserted conductor to the current bar in an electrically conductive manner. An activation unit is provided that acts on the clamping spring in order to open the clamping unit. The activation unit is provided with an indicator unit for indicating a clamping state of the clamping unit. The activation unit is coupled in terms of movement to the clamping unit. The receiving unit is disposed spatially between a fixed section of the clamping spring and the activation unit so that the indicator unit indicates the clamping state of the clamping unit independently of the spatial position of the housing.
