En outre, un tel bloc de jonction comprend des bornes de raccordement à un fil conducteur disposés sur sa face supérieure et sa face inférieure.In addition, such a terminal block comprises connection terminals to a conductive wire disposed on its upper face and its lower face.

Ces bornes de raccordement à un fil conducteur sont réparties sur ces deux faces sur la profondeur du bloc de jonction et présentent un écartemement minimal de manière à conserver une bonne fonctionnalité d'utilisation.These terminals for connecting to a wire are distributed on both sides on the depth of the terminal block and have a minimum distance to maintain a good use.

Cependant, l'encombrement du pied de fixation empêche les bornes de raccordement à un fil conducteur sur une de ces deux faces d'être disposées plus vers l'arrière du bloc de jonction, ce qui aboutit à des blocs de jonction de profondeur relativement importante induisant un encombrement notable.However, the bulk of the fixing foot prevents the connection terminals to a conductive wire on one of these two faces to be arranged further towards the rear of the terminal block, which results in relatively large terminal blocks of depth inducing a significant bulk.

Ainsi, sous l'action de l'outil, le pied de fixation 10 est mobile entre une première position de repos et au moins une deuxième position dans laquelle l'ergot 6 du corps isolant 2 est en regard de l'ergot 16 des moyens de fixation 15 de l'organe de fixation 12.Thus, under the action of the tool, the attachment foot 10 is movable between a first rest position and at least a second position in which the lug 6 of the insulating body 2 is opposite the lug 16 of the means fixing the fixing member 12.

La seconde extrémité 14 comprend un organe de retenue 17 destiné à bloquer l'outil (non illustré) de manière à pouvoir déplacer le pied de fixation 10 à l'encontre de la force exercée par les trois branches élastiques 11a, 11b, 11c.The second end 14 comprises a retaining member 17 for locking the tool (not shown) so as to move the attachment foot 10 against the force exerted by the three elastic branches 11a, 11b, 11c.

L'organe de retenue 17 comprend la paroi d'un logement (non illustré) ménagé sur la deuxième extrémité 14 de l'organe de fixation 12.The retaining member 17 comprises the wall of a housing (not shown) formed on the second end 14 of the fastener 12.

Ce logement est destiné à accueillir l'extrémité de l'outil de façon à limiter le glissement de cette extrémité de l'outil sur l'organe de fixation 12.This housing is intended to accommodate the end of the tool so as to limit the sliding of this end of the tool on the fastener 12.

En outre, ce logement comprend une nervure de renfort (non illustrée) de manière à limiter la déformation du logement sous l'action de l'outil.In addition, this housing comprises a reinforcing rib (not shown) so as to limit the deformation of the housing under the action of the tool.

Enfin, comme illustré sur la figure 4, le logement 20 de la borne de connexion B6 s'étend en partie à l'intérieur d'un volume V délimité par :

  • un premier plan P1 transversal aux deux plans latéraux PL1, PL2 délimitant le corps isolant 2, sensiblement parallèle à la direction générale D joignant la première extrémité 13 et la deuxième extrémité 14 de l'organe de fixation 12, et traversant la zone de liaison 12a de l'organe de fixation 12, et
  • un deuxième plan P2 transversal aux deux plans latéraux PL1, PL2 délimitant le corps isolant 2, sensiblement parallèle au premier plan P1 et traversant la zone de liaison 5a de la face arrière 5,
  • au moins un troisième plan P3 transversal aux deux plans latéraux PL1, PL2 délimitant le corps isolant 2, sensiblement transversal au premier plan P1 et au deuxième plan P2, et passant par la branche élastique 11a la plus éloignée des moyens de fixation 15 destinés à interagir avec un bord du rail support, et
  • au moins un quatrième plan P4 transversal aux deux plans latéraux PL1, PL2 délimitant le corps isolant 2, sensiblement transversal au premier plan P1 et au deuxième plan P2, et passant par l'organe de retenue 17 destiné à bloquer un outil.
Finally, as illustrated on the figure 4 , the housing 20 of the connection terminal B6 extends partly inside a volume V delimited by:
  • a first plane P1 transverse to the two lateral planes PL1, PL2 delimiting the insulating body 2, substantially parallel to the general direction D joining the first end 13 and the second end 14 of the fixing member 12, and passing through the connection zone 12a of the fastener 12, and
  • a second plane P2 transverse to the two lateral planes PL1, PL2 delimiting the insulating body 2, substantially parallel to the first plane P1 and passing through the connection zone 5a of the rear face 5,
  • at least a third plane P3 transverse to the two lateral planes PL1, PL2 delimiting the insulating body 2, substantially transverse to the first plane P1 and the second plane P2, and passing through the elastic leg 11a furthest away from the fixing means 15 intended to interact with an edge of the support rail, and
  • at least a fourth plane P4 transverse to the two lateral planes PL1, PL2 delimiting the insulating body 2, substantially transverse to the first plane P1 and the second plane P2, and passing through the retaining member 17 for locking a tool.

Ainsi, la borne B6 peut être disposée sur plus de profondeur de la face inférieure 4 du bloc de jonction 1 qu'elle ne le serait sur un bloc de jonction selon l'état de la technique.Thus, the terminal B6 may be arranged on a greater depth of the lower face 4 of the terminal block 1 than it would be on a terminal block according to the state of the art.

De plus, La longueur des trois branches élastiques 11a, 11b, 11c définie entre la zone de liaison 5a de la face arrière 5 du corps isolant 2 et la zone de liaison 12a de l'organe de fixation 12 est supérieure à l'épaisseur maximale e de l'organe de fixation 12 définie dans un plan transversal au premier plan P1.In addition, the length of the three elastic branches 11a, 11b, 11c defined between the connection zone 5a of the rear face 5 of the insulating body 2 and the The connection zone 12a of the fastener 12 is greater than the maximum thickness e of the fastener 12 defined in a plane transverse to the first plane P1.

La disposition de la borne de la borne B6 ainsi que la réduction de l'épaisseur du pied de fixation permettent d'obtenir un bloc de jonction avec une profondeur P hors tout réduite par rapport à un bloc de jonction de l'état de la technique.The arrangement of the terminal of the terminal B6 as well as the reduction of the thickness of the fixing foot make it possible to obtain a terminal block with an overall depth P less than that of a terminal block of the state of the art. .

En particulier, un bloc de jonction 1 selon l'invention comprend une profondeur hors tout inférieure à 80 mm, et de préférence égale à 78,4 mm.In particular, a junction block 1 according to the invention comprises an overall depth of less than 80 mm, and preferably equal to 78.4 mm.
