A connection arrangement for connecting an electrical conductor includes: 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. The clamping spring is arranged between the section of the busbar and the actuating element.
