ABSTRACT:
A connection member (1) comprises an insulating housing (3) which includes a cavity (5) in which a contact element (11) can be arranged. A surface (9) of the housing (3) is provided with at least one wire insertion opening (7) which communicates with the cavity (5). The contact element (11) comprises an electrically conductive, flat contact member (15) and a flat bearing (17) which resiliently contact one another. The contact member (15) and the bearing (17) enclose an acute angle (33), thus forming an inlet opening (35) for receiving a wire-shaped electrical conductor (41). When the contact element (11) is arranged in the connection member (1), the inlet opening (35) faces the wire insertion opening (7). The connection member (1) also comprises a control member (13) which is adapted to remove a clamped wire without invoking damage from the connection member (1) by moving the contact member (15) and the bearing (17) apart. The contact member (15) and the bearing (17) are made from one piece of a conductive sheet material by way of punching and bending operations. The bearing (17) constitutes the resilient portion and for removal of the wire (41) it can be deflected by the control member (13) which is formed on the housing (3) and which exerts a force directed away from the contact member (15).
