Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connecting terminal which releasably connects an electrical conductor in wire or strand form to an electrically conductive contact rail, a rotatably mounted clamping disk pressing the conductor against the contact rail during its pivoting movement.
  • Such a connecting terminal is known from DE-PS 904304.
  • the conductor is pressed against the contact rail by a rocker arm with the interposition of a spring.
  • a disadvantage of the known device is that the conductor must be stripped beforehand.
  • the contact via the spring is not optimal (contact surface).
  • a clamp is known into which a conductor can be inserted without prior stripping.
  • the contact is made by cutting the insulation by means of the cutting edge of a fork-shaped receptacle.
  • the conductor is pressed with a push-through device against this cutting edge.
  • the invention has for its object to develop a versatile connection technology (usable in terminal blocks, PCB terminal blocks, or terminal blocks) that the prior stripping of the conductors, or the use of tools in the clamping process, as a cost saving for the consumer , make redundant.
  • connection should provide a safe and large-area contact point, protect the conductor from injuries at the cutting points, and offer the simplest possible manufacture with a few individual parts, and also enable quick and easy handling, which likewise both at lower costs leads at the manufacturer as well as at the consumer.
  • the invention relates to a connecting terminal with the features of claim 1.
  • Advantageous embodiments result from subclaims 2 to 10.
  • the clamping disk has a toothed area in front of the cutting edge which additionally acts on the insulation section. It is also expedient to secure the clamping position by latching projections which are fixed to the housing and engage either on the clamping disc or on a slide actuating the clamping disc and are releasable.
  • guides are provided in the housing, on which the outer contour of the clamping disk is supported. The clamping area of the clamping disc and the cutting edges for separating the insulation are suitably adapted to the cross section of the conductor. It is also advantageous to contact several conductors with a clamping movement at the same time by connecting several adjacent slides.
  • Drawing 2 The connecting clamp when the cutting edges engage the insulation during the clamping process.
  • the exemplary embodiment shows schematically a terminal block in which two conductors 14 are connected to a contact rail 8.
  • a clamping disk 3 is rotatably supported by guides 2 fixed to the housing.
  • the clamping disc 3 has a toothed area 9, a cutting edge 7 and a clamping surface 6. It is moved into its clamping position by a slide 5, the slide 5 engaging with a plunger 12 on the upper side 10 of the clamping disk 3 (drawing 1).
  • the conductor 14 is inserted into the housing 1 up to a stop 4b through an opening 16. The end of the conductor 14 is then in contact with a contact rail 8 which has a shearbar 13 at its front end.
  • a contact rail 8 which has a shearbar 13 at its front end.
  • the clamping region comes into contact with the stripped end of the conductor 14 and clamps it against the contact rail 8 (drawing 3).
  • the contact rail 8 bridges a depression 15 in the housing 1 in the manner of a leaf spring.
  • the clamping disc 3 is held by an elastic housing projection 4, behind which a locking lug 11 of the clamping disc 3 engages.
  • a holding force can also be generated by a latching projection 4a on the housing 1 be attacking the slide 5.
  • the latching connections can optionally be released by pressing against the latching lug 11 with a suitable tool and releasing the connection.
  • the detent connections can also be released with the aid of a push button integrated in the housing 1, which is pressed against the detent 11 at the opening 16 between the conductor 14 and the elastic housing protrusion.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une pince de raccordement permettant de raccorder, de façon libérable, un conducteur électrique sous forme de fil ou de cordon à un rail de contact électroconducteur. La pince de raccordement selon l'invention comprend une plaquette de blocage montée pivotante dans un boîtier, qui presse le conducteur contre le rail de contact lorsqu'elle pivote. Selon l'invention, la plaquette de blocage est pourvue d'une lame qui dénude le conducteur en coopérant avec une contre-lame faisant partie du rail de contact, lors du pivotement de la plaque de serrage, et qui, lorsque celle-ci continue à pivoter, presse la partie dénudée du conducteur entre le rail de contact avec une zone de serrage adjacente à la lame, cette connexion pouvant être défaite, si nécessaire, au moyen d'un outil approprié, par pression sur le bec d'arrêt.
