1. A connection arrangement for connecting an electrical conductor, comprising:
a busbar;
a clamping spring, which has a retaining leg and a clamping leg, the clamping leg being transferable into a clamping position and into a release position;
a conductor connection space formed between a section of the busbar and of the clamping leg of the clamping spring;
a displaceably arranged guide element, which is in operative connection with the clamping leg of the clamping spring, the clamping leg being holdable in the release position by the guide element; and
an actuating element, by which the guide element is displaceable in order to transfer the clamping leg of the clamping spring from the clamping position into the release position,
wherein the clamping spring is arranged between the section of the busbar and the actuating element,
wherein the guide element has at least one spring contact edge against which the clamping leg rests,
wherein the clamping leg has two slide sections each arranged laterally in relation to a main section having a clamping edge,
wherein the guide element has two spring contact edges arranged at a distance from one another, and
wherein a first slide section rests against a first spring contact edge and a second slide section rests against a second spring contact edge.
