Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical connection terminal one with at least one entry track with a busbar provided for the free end of an electrical conductor Housing and with a clamping spring arranged in the housing, that pushes against the entry track as well as with a second connection point on the power rail for another Ladder.
  • connection terminal is known from DE 40 14 048 A1, where you have the housing made of an insulating material has produced and the clamping spring interact with a busbar lets that protrude into the launch track and with its other end as a flat receptacle or as one Plug tongue is formed.
  • Such terminals have the advantage that screwless clamping points are formed, that can be connected without tools. Disadvantageous is with such terminals that the dimensions in part become very large and that the desired spectrum for to be connected Cable diameter is not covered. To comes that such terminals are not easier to connect Band conductors are suitable, such as in Installation boxes of electrical installation systems according to the Applicant's German patent application 198 16 554.4 are used.
  • From DE 24 40 825 A1 is also a contact piece for one Terminal known, but on the one hand for inclusion in serves a housing made of insulating material and at an embodiment of a U-shaped bent holding part consists of two S-shaped springs on the inner thigh are inserted. One leg of these springs presses against the inside of the upper leg of the holding part, while the other end by the opposite Thigh is carried out to the outside this second leg presses.
  • the inside of the top Leg of the holding part can therefore, because the associated spring end is directed towards the inside of the holding part, as one Serve guideway for cable ends, especially if appropriate Entry lanes are provided.
  • the outside of the second part with a parallel to that on the inside running guide be provided can, can be designed to put on another cable end be that of the outer leg of the spring against the outer surface of the holding part is pressed.
  • the entry lanes for all cable ends run parallel and at a distance from each other. Since the two end faces of the U-shaped bent holding part can be provided as cable entries in the design shown there, up to six cable ends in alignment are connected to each other by the contact piece that is usually housed in an insulating housing.
  • the present invention is therefore based on the object to form a connecting terminal of the type mentioned at the outset, that universal use is possible, and that too a simple connection to a strip conductor can be provided can.
  • the invention consists in solving this problem in a electrical connecting terminal of the type mentioned in the beginning, that the housing is made of electrically conductive material, the busbar forms and following the entry track with a the connection point for the other conductor forming contact surface is provided, against which a second Leg of the clamping spring presses.
  • This configuration on the one hand becomes a special insulating housing to accommodate the clamping spring and an additional one Busbar unnecessary.
  • the new contact terminal can be in corresponding recesses in a known manner from insulating material existing device cup can be used. She can be used to connect lamps, switches, sockets different insertion angles, and for connections according to international Standards as well as for telecommunications technology use.
  • the arrangement of a contact surface which is easier Way an outer surface of the housing can be enabled contact with a strip conductor in a simple manner.
  • the housing is frame-shaped is formed and bent overlapping to form a frame punched sheet metal that is attached to one of a floor protruding upward with openings for Insert the cable ends and on the opposite end wall is provided with the contact surface.
  • the second leg of the Clamping spring a guide and clamping tab in front of the contact surface form the housing so that a ribbon conductor in the one-sided open clamp tab inserted and in contact with the housing the terminal can be brought.
  • the contact surface of the housing be provided with pronounced beads, through which the Contact area reduced due to the formation of contact points is to set prescribed criteria against inadmissible Temperature increase to meet.
  • two insertion tracks can be used in the bottom of the housing and two openings assigned to them be provided in the housing, the insertion tracks with sharp edges to make contact with the inserted conductor can be provided by the clamping spring against the insertion path is pressed.
  • a web can be arranged between the two entry tracks be that separates the two entry lanes and one Crossing the connection cable for external bending movements prevented.
  • a stop surface can be in the housing be formed for the first leg of the clamping spring, due to an inadmissible bending of this clamping leg is prevented.
  • the clamping spring itself can not rusting spring steel and two spring legs have, which are each assigned to an insertion track and through openings in the area of the spring legs of the housing are provided, the single release of an inserted Enable the end of the cable without loosening the second becomes.
  • the second leg of the clamping spring forms on that of the two Spring legs facing away from the clamping tab that comes from the Housing protrudes and is arranged in front of the contact surface.
  • a frame-shaped housing 1 made of electrical conductive material, for example made of brass, that on one of its closed sides 2 with two circular Openings 3, 3a is provided.
  • two insertion paths narrowing in the direction of the arrows 4 5 and 5a are provided, between which an opening 4 is provided.
  • the two entry lanes 5 and 5a end to the second closed side of the frame-shaped housing 1 towards two upward-looking bow-shaped wall parts 6, which are provided with bead-shaped features 7, the extend outwards. Both wall parts 6 are to the top angled at right angles and enter into a common Wall part 8 above, which is in turn angled by 90 ° Tail 9 something in the free space of the frame-shaped Housing 1 protrudes.
  • the wall part 8 partially overlaps the ceiling 10 of the frame-shaped Housing 1 and is with this via clamping hook 11 connected, which is bent down from the ceiling area 10 are.
  • the middle part is between the ceiling part 10 and the wall part 8 a clamping spring 12 clamped, consisting of two side by side lying U-shaped spring legs 12a, of each of which is assigned to one of the insertion tracks 5 or 5a is.
  • a clamping spring 12 clamped consisting of two side by side lying U-shaped spring legs 12a, of each of which is assigned to one of the insertion tracks 5 or 5a is.
  • they unite two spring legs 12a and go into a second approximately spring legs 13 bent downwards at right angles, which in turn forms a U-shaped tab and a by Has 180 ° bent free end 13a, which - see in particular 2 - through the between the two wall parts 6th of the housing 1 formed protrudes to the outside and with this wall parts 6 an insertion pocket for one of Fig. 1 visible band conductor 14 forms.
  • This band leader 14 is, as can be seen from FIGS.
  • a web 17 projecting upwards is provided, which serves to cross the ends 15 to prevent the connection cable even when connected to the connection terminal act on external bending movements.
  • the two cable ends 15 are connected as shown in FIG. 1 can be easily seen, just by inserting the ends 15 through the openings 3 and 3a into the insertion tracks 5 and 5a.
  • the spring leg 12a is in the Insertion direction bent up and then ensures on the one hand for pressing the cable ends onto the entry tracks 5 and 5a, but also for the fact that the cable ends not be pulled out of the openings 3 and 3a again can.
  • opening 4 e.g. with a screwdriver
  • one of the legs 12a bent up so that a connecting cable can then be removed, without affecting the secure hold of the second cable.
  • the wall part 9 is provided, the as a stop against such hyperextension serves.
  • the new connection terminal is composed of only two parts which can be produced very simply by punching and bending processes and are then assembled in one operation. Due to its design, the new connection terminal is suitable for accepting almost all common connection cables, e.g. solid or multi-wire copper conductors up to 4mm 2 nominal cross-section, but also fine-stranded copper conductors with ultrasonic welding, also up to 4mm 2 and fine-stranded copper conductors up to 2.5mm 2 with ferrules. 1 and 4, the insertion tracks 5a are provided with sharp side edges 18 which, when pressed by the spring legs 12a, ensure good contact of the inserted cable end 15 with the housing 1.
  • the strip conductor 14 can be easily inserted from above and brought into contact clamping.
  • the new connection terminal is therefore also suitable for contacting strip conductors.
