A metal part for an electric connecting device for connecting at least one stripped conductor end has a base limb, a contact limb that is substantially perpendicular relative to said base limb, and at least one lateral wall. The contact limb together with a clamping limb of a clamping spring forms a spring clamp terminal for an electric conductor to be connected. The metal part requires only a small amount of material in that the contact limb is bent away from the base limb, and the lateral wall is bent away from the contact limb, wherein the bending edge between the contact limb and the base limb runs perpendicular relative to the longitudinal extension of the contact limb and the base limb, while the bending edge between the contact limb and the lateral wall runs parallel relative to the longitudinal extension of the contact limb.
