A spring-loaded terminal contact (3) for contacting electrical conductors having at least one busbar (7) and having at least one clamping spring (9) which has an abutment member (10), a clamping member (12) and a curved resilient member (11) which is arranged between the abutment member (10) and the clamping member (12) is described. The clamping member (12) extends in the direction toward the busbar (7) and has a resilient clamping edge (8) for clamping an electrical conductor which is introduced between the clamping member (12) and the busbar (7) in a conductor insertion direction (L). The busbar (7) has a clamping edge (6) which together with the resilient clamping edge (8) forms a clamping location for the electrical conductor which is intended to be clamped. The busbar (7) has a groove-like recess (14) in the conductor insertion direction (L) upstream of the clamping location adjacent to the clamping edge (6).
